Nov. 4 (Portaltic/EP) –
Youtube music is testing integrating users’ playlists into the home page, allowing users to know what songs are included in them and access them more easily.
YouTube Music is YouTube’s subscription service that offers benefits such as background playback, ad-free music or audio-only mode, as well as the ability to download songs listen to them offline.
Currently, its interface has different carousels divided into three tabs: ‘Start’where personalized content is distributed, ‘Libraries’, where the songs and videos uploaded to that account or those that have been ‘liked’ are placed. Finally, ‘Explore’, used to discover new content.
Like other streaming music appslike Apple Music or Spotify, YouTube Music has different carousels of artists, albums and playlists in this space and allows users to view the available content if they slide their finger on the screen during navigation.
As for playlists, so far YouTube Music only puts an image of an artist or album on the cover, as well as the name of the song list. It also adds the artists included in it, but it does not show which are the songs of these musicians and singers that make up the ‘playlist’, so that forces users to click on them to unfold and display them.
Now YouTube has introduced a new feature that places a playlist at the top of the interface, putting the playlist cover on the left, along with its name, and followed by the songs that make it up.
As you have warned 9to5Google, in this new section three songs are placed, with the images of the album or the single to which they belong, the title and the year of publication. At the bottom of this ‘widget’, instead, three buttons are displayed.
The first of them is the ‘Play’ icon to listen to said ‘playlist’, which is followed by ‘Start radio’ and ‘Add to playlist’, as shown by the screenshots to which this medium has had access.
Thanks to this new format, users will be able to know what it contains each of the personalized lists offered by the platforminstead of having to access each of them to know what songs make them up.
