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 4.0.15
- FIXED Android: laggy YouTube playback fixed. YouTube videos stuttered or froze while the sound played on: on slow connections, after a seek, on repeat one, and on devices that decode the chosen format too slowly. The quality menu also no longer offers 4K60 to decoders that can't keep up Live videos: seeking and the LIVE button jumped to the oldest point of the rewind window instead of where you aimed Desktop: expanding the mini player opened Now Playing scrolled down to the queue, with the video and controls out of view Playback started without opening the app (Android Auto, headset or Bluetooth buttons, the notification) used the default volume, speed, pitch, quality and EQ and didn't save changes, skipped no SponsorBlock segments, showed the notification and Android Auto in the phone's language instead of the app's, and could shrink a large player cache to 512 MB Android: the app could close while showing the song's artwork, mostly on Android 15 custom ROMs (LineageOS and others) Android: an update that failed to install, for example with the storage full, downloaded again on every tap; "Install now" now stays and the reason shows Android 9 and older system WebViews (often car head units): YouTube forgot its cookies after every request, so sign-in didn't stick iOS: most settings reset on every launch Linux: choosing a folder for the Library or the download location opened it instead of selecting it Desktop: downloads running at the same time could fail with "database is locked" Leaving the app stopped a running Library scan, and leaving the Library in the middle of a playlist restore could cut it short
- IMPROVED Show FPS also shows the dropped frames and the video decoder, e.g. "30 fps - 5 dropped - hw vp9"
- INTERNAL One settings store per process on Android and iOS, and one sign-in state per process instead of one per screen Telemetry: remote sample rate and filters for non-fatal errors, desktop events carry the OS name, version and architecture
