About this app
YMusic plays YouTube as audio only. No video stream to fetch or decode, so it uses far less mobile data and far less CPU, and keeps playing with the screen off.
Audio only. Less data, less CPU. Most of the time you only listen. YMusic streams just the sound and skips the video entirely. Want the picture back? Turn video on for that song.
Less data Only the audio stream is downloaded. Your mobile plan lasts longer.
Less CPU No video to decode or draw. A cooler phone and a longer battery.
What it does The things you open a music app for.
Plays with the screen off Lock your phone or switch apps. The song keeps going.
Your own files too Point YMusic at a folder and your local music joins the library.
SponsorBlock SponsorBlock jumps past sponsor reads and long intros in music videos.
Sleep timer Stop after a set time, or let the current song finish first.
Ten-band equalizer Presets like Bass, Rock and Voice, plus bass boost and a virtualizer.
Offline, if you need it Save a song for when there's no connection.
What's new
- Version 4.0.17
- NEW Search: history entries that match what you type stay on screen above the live suggestions, with their remove button Now Playing: Up Next marks videos you've already downloaded
- FIXED Android: the app could freeze when the song changed on slower devices, while the video decoder shut down, also if you rotated or left the app at that moment Android: opening an .m3u8 or other streaming playlist from another app closed the app; it now shows an error Android: the app could still close while showing the song's artwork on custom ROMs Android: a finished download could be thrown away at the last step on some SD cards. The file is now kept Android: a failed in-app update said nothing. It now shows an error code and a link to the official site Fewer crashes in the YouTube engine when a video closes or the app comes back from the background Windows: when Application Control or Smart App Control blocks a YMusic file, the app now opens and says what happened instead of failing to start. Playback is off until it's allowed, but browsing, search and updates still work Windows: a download that didn't fit the drive showed an error code instead of the disk full message, and each retry left another partial file in the folder Linux: the .deb installed ffmpeg without permission to run, so on a system without its own ffmpeg, downloads were M4A only, with no video, and local files had no tags or artwork Desktop: dragging a window edge past the opposite one could make the window disappear while playback carried on Podcasts: opening a show listed nothing and episode cards opened an empty page. Shows now list their episodes, and episode cards play Channels in search and feeds: the Subscribe button did nothing and couldn't show whether you were subscribed. Channel rows and cards now have a ⋮ menu with Subscribe, Unsubscribe and Share; signed out it offers Share only Now Playing in split-screen: a window just wider than tall squeezed the video into a small strip and cut off
