You can also find live concert performances, and videos recorded by fans.

YouTube Music also hosts live performances, which provides a handy platform for small artists, though these aren't very heavily promoted in the app. You can listen to 'radio stations' based around a particular artist or track. There are also other playlists available, including new releases, themed lists, and playlists for certain times of day.

'Liking' songs will add them to a playlist, and determine which songs YouTube Music adds to 'Your Mix' (an auto-generated playlist of recommended tracks). The first time you fire up the app you'll be asked to choose a handful of your favorite artists so it can begin recommending songs, and the personalization improved with each new track you listen to as the service builds up a picture of your listening habits and preferences. YouTube Music works particularly well for discovering new tracks thanks to its recommendation system. YouTube Music also integrates with Google's Clock app, so you can be woken by a tune of your choice in the morning. You can also download songs and videos to enjoy offline, though these aren't stored on your device in a format that can be easily shared or transferred (which is understandable to avoid piracy). YouTube Music also allows you to keep listening to audio while you use other apps or have your phone's screen switched off, which isn't possible with the free YouTube app. Just download the app and log in using the same account you use for Google Play Music. If you already have a Google Play Music subscription, you'll find that YouTube Music is thrown in free. YouTube Music is also included if you subscribe to YouTube Premium, which costs $11.99/£11.99/AU$14.99 per month. You can try it free for a month before deciding whether to commit, and you can cancel any time without too much hassle. YouTube Music costs $9.99/£9.99/AU$11.99, which is the same as most other music streaming services, including Spotify, Apple Music and Deezer.
