It seems that everyone wants to end the hegemony of Spotify in the field of streaming music. Apple Music, Deezeer, Google Music, Amazon are trying but it seems that "Spoty" has caught on a lot in society.
If there weren't a few competitors, now comes Youtube Music. A music service that intends to take first place from Spotify and, we warn you, it has many ballots to achieve it.
Who has never used Youtube to listen to music?.I'm sure we've all done it at some point. But let's recognize that it is a pain to have to play the video, especially if you are connected to a mobile data network. Data consumption was skyrocketing and although there are many apps that allow you to listen to music from YouTube without having to play the video, Google is going to take the step to create its own.
An app that allows you to separate the video from the audio and in which we will only listen to the music.
Youtube Music will arrive in Spain at the end of the year
Youtube Music will be available starting May 22 in the US, Australia, New Zealand, Mexico, and South Korea. It is expected to arrive in Spain before the end of the year.

Youtube Music subscription prices and the free version:
We can opt for one of the following service subscriptions:
- Free version: with limitations and the existence of ads, in true Spotify style.
- Youtube Music Premium (paid version): It will cost $9.99 per month and it will have no ads, you can download offline content and, in addition, you can play in the background and with the mobile locked. In Europe, this service is expected to be around €9.99.
It has been rumored that people who pay a Google Play Music subscription will have access, free of charge, to this new streaming music service, from Youtube.
What does Youtube Music offer that other streaming music platforms don't have?:
Well, in addition to offering official songs, albums and thousands of playlists, they play with the "ace up the sleeve" of being able to offer exclusive content that can only be found on Youtube. This content is covers, live concerts, covers of popular songs, music videos
We'll see if this new music service affects Spotify a lot. As we have already said, in Spain we have to wait until the end of the year to use it.
