Quick tip of the day

YouTube Music is relatively new to the scene, but it has quickly risen in popularity. The free version does have its drawbacks, such as the inability to keep listening after you close the app and slightly subpar audio quality. It does have some perks, though, like exclusive content you can’t hear anywhere else, including live concerts and emerging artists.

Pros:

  • Live music and content you can’t get anywhere else
  • Unlimited playlist creation
  • Upgradable

Cons:

  • Music stops playing if you close the app
  • Possibilities for a lot of ads
  • Sometimes poor audio quality
