YouTube Music

Google's music service

YouTube Music is Google's music streaming service, launched in 2018 as a competitor to Spotify and Apple Music.

It combines traditional streaming features with access to YouTube's vast library of music videos, live performances, and user-uploaded content: I found a rare demo on YouTube Music that wasn't on other platforms.

The service replaced Google Play Music in 2020.
