\nStreaming services are so hot right now that Google can\u2019t have enough of them. The company unveiled two new products, including YouTube Music and YouTube Premium, that will get you access to plenty of ad-free content, including YouTube originals. Although ad-based consumption will still be a thing.
Wait, didn\u2019t YouTube already launch paid subscriptions? Yes, yes it did. But forget all about those. What you want to focus on is YouTube Music and YouTube Premium.
YouTube Music launches on May 22nd, Google explained in a blog post, \u201ca new music streaming service made for music with the magic of YouTube: making the world of music easier to explore and more personalized than ever.\u201d
You\u2019re getting access to \u201cofficial songs, albums, thousands of playlists and artist radio plus YouTube\u2019s tremendous catalog of remixes, live performances, covers and music videos that you can\u2019t find anywhere else,\u201d all organized and personalized. That means Google will still do some data collection in the background to get you those smart music recommendations.
YouTube Music is free as long as you don\u2019t mind ads. YouTube Music Premium, not to be confused with YouTube Premium which is something else, costs $9.99 per month. If you\u2019re a Google Play Music subscriber, then you\u2019re getting YouTube Music Premium for free.
Come Tuesday, YouTube Music launches in U. S., Australia, New Zealand, Mexico and South Korea, while Austria, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Norway, Russia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom will get it soon \u2014 check it out at this link .
I know this is all super confusing, so bear with me for a second. YouTube Premium isn\u2019t YouTube Music Premium, although YouTube Music Premium is included. YouTube Premium is the new name for YouTube Red, which is YouTube\u2019s current paid subscription service, priced at $9.99. .
YouTube Premium includes ad-free background and offline access to YouTube and YouTube Originals, on top of YouTube Music Premium. That means you have to pay $11.99 each month to get it if you\u2019re a new member. YouTube Red members won\u2019t be charged extra. To get YouTube Premium for $9.99, sign up for Red right now
YouTube Premium is rolling out in the same markets as YouTube Music, following the same schedule.
YouTube Music is free, with ads.
Google Play Music ($9.99) subscribers get YouTube Music Premium ($9.99) for free, which is YouTube Music with no ads. But not vice-versa.
YouTube Premium ($11.99) is the replacement of YouTube Red ($9.99) and includes YouTube Music Premium ($9.99) access.
