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 4.0.12
- NEW - Share YouTube videos, playlists, channels, and albums as a link from their rows, the queue, Now Playing, video details, and the playlist page through the system share sheet on Android and iOS. - The same song menu is now available across every list: Go to artist, Go to album, and Add to playlist in the Library, Library search, and the queue. Library search also gains Show in folder and Remove from disk. - For finished downloads: rename the file, add it to a playlist, share it, download it in another format, or remove it from disk. - Switch a YouTube video's audio track (e.g., take an auto-dubbed video back to its original language). - Android: Open audio and video files directly with YMusic from file managers and chat apps. - Now Playing: Added a Search lyrics menu item. - Now Playing: The playing song is highlighted in the queue, with a button next to "Up next" to scroll back to it. - Library: Sort songs by track number. - Subscribe / Unsubscribe from a channel row's menu when signed in.
- FIXED - Android: Playback crashed on some phones (mostly Android 15 and custom ROMs) while setting the cover art for the media notification. - macOS 11: The app crashed at launch. - iOS: YouTube sign-in never finished when the YouTube app was installed. - Android: 1080p and higher videos dropped frames, froze while the audio played on, and heated up phones without a hardware AV1 decoder. - Opus and Ogg files (.opus, .ogg, .oga) couldn't be added to the Library. - Playlist download: The mini player covered the Download button. - A download folder that already held music looked empty until a rescan. - Some YouTube thumbnails and comment avatars didn't load. - Desktop: Clicking the app icon didn't bring back a window hidden to the tray.
- IMPROVED - Speed and pitch move in 0.01 steps, and holding -/+ keeps stepping. - Ukrainian: Strings that still showed in English are translated.
