YouTube has just announced that the YouTube Music app will enable background playback for free. This update allows people to continuously listen to music even when they exit the YouTube Music app. Google Assistant driving mode also will be available for a hands-free YouTube Music experience. YouTube Music is rolling out a new split-view design for its “Now Playing” screen on Android and iOS devices. YouTube has introduced a new AI Playlist feature for YouTube Premium and YouTube Music Premium subscribers, allowing users to instantly generate personalized playlists based on an idea, mood, or genre. The feature lets users describe what they want to listen to using either voice or text, and YouTube Music’s AI will curate a playlist to match that request. To use AI Playlist, users on Android and iOS can head to the Library tab in the YouTube Music app, tap the “New” button, and select “AI Playlist.” From there, they can simply explain the type of music they want, such as a specific vibe, activity, or sound. YouTube Music has started placing song lyrics behind a paywall, requiring users to subscribe to YouTube Premium or YouTube Music Premium to view full lyrics.
