We’ll have to see how this plays out in the real world, but my hunch is that the idea is to give subscribers access to a large “gray zone” of music that has been on YouTube for a long time, often with copyright owners’ permission, but unavailable most other places. Like almost every other music subscription service - and there are many other music subscription services* - “Google Play Music Key” will offer ad-free, portable music, which you can listen to on- and offline, for $10 a month.Īnd, of course, it lets you watch videos, which you can already do for free.īut YouTube’s service will have one thing that all the other paid services won’t have, at least for now: The ability to listen to many of the songs users have uploaded, via videos, that aren’t part of music acts’ official catalogs, like concert recordings or remixes. The screenshots also don’t show much that’s surprising. YouTube isn’t commenting on the report, but based on everything I’ve heard about the service - which has been in the works for more than a year, and delayed several times - it appears to be the real deal. This revelation comes from images published by Android Police, which purport to show leaked screenshots of the upcoming service’s pitch. And YouTube has explained, on the record, why it is launching a music subscription service.Īnd now we know why YouTube thinks you might pay for its music subscription service: It will have stuff you can’t get from other music subscription services. You Tube has already said, on the record, that it is launching a music subscription service.
