YouTube Music update makes it easier than ever to pick the perfect songs

YouTube Music is now Google’s music streaming champion and today is getting a major upgrade that takes personalization to a whole new level. From seven new personalized playlists to a tabbed home screen that gives quick access to activity-based recommendations, today’s update makes it easier than ever to access the music you want. you want to hear.

The playlist changes coming today are certainly welcome and make YouTube Music a bit more appealing compared to alternatives like Spotify. Your mix is ​​being renamed My Supermix, but the big problem is that users will now see up to seven additional mixes, each featuring a different selection of music depending on what you like to hear. These will come in handy when you’re not sure what to listen to, but have a specific vibe in mind. The new mixes are now live on Android and on the web.

Here are my seven mixes, plus some new looks for playlist covers.

These are the same blends spotted in testing last month. While these new mixes are nice to have, they’re not very noticeable, with titles only distinguished by numbers and faded covers that seem unrelated to the music inside.

In addition, the app will now feature an “activity bar” that provides easy access to four featured activities: training, focus, relaxation and commuting. Tapping on one of the activities brings up its dedicated home page with playlists and recommendations designed to partner well with the selected company. We saw this rollout with some users last month, but today it’s starting to go live for everyone.

Each activity has a dedicated home page with targeted music and recommendations.

This section seems a bit redundant, as YouTube Music is already supposed to offer location-based recommendations on the home screen, but it’s still an addition that should be appreciated by those who prefer to do things manually or not. not want to give the application. access to location data.

YouTube Music may have a ways to go before it reaches feature parity with Google Play Music, but these updates show that Google’s latest music streaming service continues to gain momentum. To experience these updates for yourself, download the latest version of YouTube Music from APK Mirror or the Play Store.
