14 DAY TRIAL // After announcing YouTube Red, Google launched yet another YouTube related service, this time aimed at music lovers. The new service is called YouTube Music and is now available on both Android and iOS platforms.
YouTube Music promises to offer a “completely new type of experience,” specially designed to allow users to discover their favorite music on YouTube much easier.
According to Google, the application is meant to provide users with complete access to one of the richest music catalogs available on the market.
With YouTube Music, users will be able to quickly find music videos, tracks, artists, and albums, but they will also see all the remixes, covers, lyric videos and concert footage that YouTube has to offer.
Google also allows Android and iOS users to enhance their experience with a YouTube Red membership, which will allow them to listen to music offline and seamlessly switch between video or audio-only.

More importantly, YouTube Music will allow users to hear any video they play, even when they are in another application or have the screen turned off.
“Every song you play or artist you choose will take you on an endless journey through YouTube’s music catalog. A simple tap and you’re on your way, enjoying your favorite music and discovering new artists effortlessly.
“The home tab will recommend tracks just for you and create personalized stations based on your tastes,” explains Google in a blog post.
You can now download YouTube Music for Android for free via Google Play Store. The application should be fully compatible with all devices powered by Android 4.0 and up.
For iOS users, the application can be downloaded via App Store. It should work smoothly on all devices running iOS 8.0 or later.
Keep in mind that while the application is available for free, the enhanced experience will require a monthly fee. However, Google offers the amplified experience for free for 14 days.
YouTube Music is not yet available in all countries, so if it doesn't show in Play store for you, then you will have to install the APK file or wait for Google to launch it in your region.
