- YouTube music has taken out a new feature that allows it to resume music playback on different devices
- It is similar to Spotify Connect, which gives you more controls in addition to the reproduction of cross devices
- The ‘Dial Speed’ carousel in the YouTube music application also shows reproduction progress bars, which is another new addition
YouTube music is not just a practical way to go without advertisements on its standard video player platform, it is one of the most popular music transmission services that exist, and its new reproduction function marks a long -awaited addition to its interface. Unfortunately, it is one that Spotify has had for years.
In the latest version of the YouTube music application (version 8.26.51), you can now resume music playback on different devices, which allows you to move without problems between your mobile device, tablet and computer to resume where you left it. This means that you can start transmitting from YouTube Music on your phone, stop the list on the list in the middle and resume on another device.
In addition to the last YouTube Music function, those on Android Authority saw another small addition to the YouTube Music interface. In his carousel ‘Speed Dial’, (a section where he can set songs, albums and reproduction lists that he wishes to listen frequently) will see that there are new progress bars that represent their listening activity on other devices.
When one touches one, a new option of ‘curriculum’ will appear, which allows you to collect reproduction where you left it.
A useful feature, but they are still the first days
Although he has always been able to monitor his listening habits as he advances between devices, the ability to resume from where he left it is not as soft as Spotify Connect, which is the largest rival of YouTube Music. The new feature has definitely spent a lot of time for YouTube music, but it still has a long way to go.
In the case of Spotify, not only can reproduction between devices resume, but it gives you even more power by allowing you to control music reproduction on one device using another. For example, Spotify could be transmitting music from your smartphone, but you can still navigate your desktop version to control what comes out of your phone playing the ‘Connect’ icon in the playback bar, which will show all available devices.
This feature applies to devices such as the best smart speakers, which can also control from your smartphone or computer. I find this particularly useful and use it constantly, and Spotify Connect makes it much easier to change my smartphone to my smartphone when I need to leave home, but I still want to listen to music along the way.
It cannot be denied that the new curriculum function is a great update to the YouTube Music ecosystem, which will hope will evolve over time to allow you to have more power over its reproduction. At this time, it is still very fresh, so we will have to see what youtube loyal music users think about change.
