But there's a catch for the mobile app because you can't use it to play music in the background (although, see above). YouTube Music is available as a free ad-supported tier, much like Spotify. When using YouTube Music in a browser it's obviously a video-based experience like the rest of YouTube.

You can also switch partway through, which is a great feature. Videos also have great prominence in the app as well as the browser, and when you select a song in the app you'll often be able to select whether you want to listen to the song or watch the video. Whether you're using the web version or the mobile app, music you imported from Google Play is available in both. The Library tab serves up playlists as well as any imported music you brought over from Google Play Music and any music you have on your mobile device. Home is a mixture of everything, Explore lets you easily find new music, like new releases, as well as dive into moods or genres. It's based around three tabs, Home, Explore and Library. It updates to provide recommendations based on your listening habits but is also location-aware and can offer some music choices to match what you might be doing.

The home screen, whether you're using the app or the web player, is always changing.
