YouTube Music allows you to listen to official songs, albums, playlists, artist radios, remixes and live versions of songs and watch music videos. It is available as a desktop web player and as an iOS and Android app. There is a free-to-use tier if you’re not bothered by adverts. YouTube Music Premium tier is ads-free and gives you the possibility to listen in the background even when you exit the app, and you can also download songs to listen to offline at your leisure. YouTube Music Premium is designed for use by only one person. If you want to share it with additional people you need to first convert your YouTube Music Premium subscription into a YouTube Music Premium family subscription. YouTube Music Premium is available for $9.99 a month, and YouTube Music Premium Family is available for $14.99 a month.
