YouTube Music is available for users with the Premium version and now they get this Spotify-like feature to make music playback easy
Now you can resume track between devices like Spotify
YouTube Music is now becoming more like Spotify and in a good way with the new update. The platform is available if you pay for YouTube premium and the company has one more reason added to the list which tempts you into taking the paid version. YouTube Music can now resume playing tracks between two devices and it can be a phone, along with the app running on the PC.
The new feature is available with the YouTube Music update that takes the app to the version 8.26.51 that is now rolling out for users.
YouTube Music ‘Resume’ Update: What It Offers
As the name suggests, YouTube Music users can start playing a track on their phone, and resume the session on the PC app from the exact point where you left it on the device. We’ve personally felt this option missing from YouTube’s paid Music app and Spotify users have got this support for many years.
But finally the streaming giant is making up for the lost time and letting you start playing music between devices without having to play it from the beginning. It might be a small addition to the platform but gives more fuel to YouTube’s ambitions to have more people paying for its services, especially when Music is bundled for them.
The company even has a YouTube Premium Lite version available in select regions, who can probably make use of the new tool that looks to enhance the experience of using the Music app across devices. While one feature is being added, YouTube is losing another.
The platform will stop showing the Trending page for all users from this month onwards. The company has officially confirmed the changes earlier this month and it will be taking effect in the next couple of weeks. In addition to Trending, the Trending Now section is also going away and the platform is bringing more category-specific lists/sections to align with the current trends and usage patterns of the users.
