Stringing services are becoming increasingly popular and popular among users, especially if they are intended to watch video and / or listening to music. Just about the representative of the second segment, and not devoid of some opportunities of the first, we will tell in our current article.
YouTube Music is a relatively new service from Google, which is understandable from the name, is intended for listening to music, although certain possibilities of the "big brother", video storage, is also present in it. This music platform came to the change of Google Play music and earned in Russia in the summer of 2018. We will tell about the main opportunities.
Personal recommendations
As it should be assumed to any Stringing Service, YouTube Music provides each user with personal recommendations based on its preferences and tastes. Of course, the pre-Musical YouTube will have to "train", indicating his favorite genres and performers. In the future, stumbled upon the artist you are interested in, be sure to subscribe to it.
The longer you will use this platform, not forgetting to celebrate the tracks you like, the more accurate will be recommendations. If the song that you do not like to do not like to do it in the list of playback, just put her "finger down" - it will also improve the overall presentation of the service about your tastes.
Thematic playlists and collections
In addition to personal recommendations, updated daily, YouTube Music offers a fairly large number of thematic playlists and various selections. Categories, each of which contains for ten playlists, are divided into groups. Some of them are formed by the mood, others - on the weather or season, the third - by the genre, the fourth - they ask the mood, the fifths are well suited under certain occupation, work or rest. And this is the most generalized view, in fact, categories and groups that they are divided into the Web service under consideration much more.
Among other things, it is worth noting how the youTube works in each of the supported countries - playlists and selections with Russian music are bred into a separate category. Here, as in the case of the rest of the playlists, the content is also presented, potentially interesting for a particular user service.
Your mix and favorites
The playlist called "Your Mix" is an analogue of the button "I'm lucky" in Google search and the same name in Play Music. If you do not know what to listen to, just select it in the category "Favorites" - there will definitely be not only the music that you likely like it, but also a new one who applies to the same title. Thus, you will definitely find something new for myself, especially since "your mix" can be restarted an unlimited number of times, and there will always be completely different collections.
All in the same category "Favorites", containing, perhaps, the most pleasant random, the playlists and music performers, who have previously already listened to, were positively appreciated, added to their library and / or subscribed to their page in Youtube Music.
New Releases
Absolutely every Streaming Platform, and the music YouTube considered here did not exception here, it tries to advance the most effectively promote new releases of well-known and not very performers. It is logical that all the novelties are bred into a separate category and consist of mostly from albums, singles and EP of those performers who already like or may like. That is, listening to the foreign rap or classic rock, you definitely will not see the Russian chanson on this list.
In addition to new products from specific performers, on the main web service page there are two more categories with fresh musical content - this is "new music" and "Top hits of the week." Each of them is represented by ten playlists, compiled according to genres and topics.
Search and category
By no means be sure to rely solely on personal recommendations and thematic selections, as if qualitatively YouTube Music did not make them. The application has a search function that allows you to find the tracks, albums, performers and playlists you are interested in. You can refer to the search box from any section of the application, and the content found as a result will be divided into thematic groups.
Note: The search can be carried out not only by names and names, but also by the text of the song (separate phrases) and even its description. There is no one of the competing web services so useful and truly working.
In general search, the summary content of the categories presented is displayed. To move between them, you can use both vertical swipes along the screen and thematic tabs on the top panel. The second option is preferable if you want to see the entire content relevant to one category, for example, all playlists, albums or tracks.
History of listening
For those cases when you want to once again listen to what listened to lately, but at the same time do not remember that it was, on the main page of YouTube music there is a category "Listen to Once again" ("From the history of listening"). There are ten positions of the latest reproduced content, including albums, performers, playlists, selections, mixes, etc.
Video clips and live performances
Since YouTube Music is not only a musical streaming service, but also a part of a large video hosting, you can watch clips, live performances and other audiovisual content from the performers you are interested in. It can be both official videotapes published by the artists themselves and fan video or remixes.
Both for clips and for living performances, individual categories are allocated on the main page.
Hostyl
This section YouTube Music is, in its essence, the analogue of the Trends tab on Bolshoy YouTube. Here are the most popular innovations in the whole web service, and not according to your preferences. For this reason, something is really interesting, and the most importantly, unfamiliar, it is unlikely that you can do this music, this music will reach you "from irons." And yet, familiarization in order to keep up with the tendencies, at least once a week you can look here.
Library
It is easy to guess that all the fact that you added to the library fall into this section of the application. These are albums, and playlists, and individual compositions. Here you can familiarize yourself with the list of recently listened (or viewed) content.
Special attention deserves the tabs "Liked" and "Downloaded". The first presents all the tracks and clips that you estimate your finger up. In more detail about what and how it falls into the second tab, it will be discussed further.
