YMusic for Android

YouTube music player app

YMusic is a free music application for mobile by developer KDEV. It's a media player that can be used to play locally stored audio files, as well as videos streaming from YouTube. With the latter, it lets them listen to audio streams even when outside of the app.

With the help of the YMusic app, users will finally be able to enjoy listening to their favorite YouTube videos podcast-style as they are playing in the background. It also serves as a capable music player for their stored media with various playback features and options to configure.

Long-requested feature 

Ymusic is a popular app for those who wish to bypass the myriads of ads in their video and music streaming platforms. YouTube is undoubtedly the world's largest and most popular video-sharing network, along with Spotify, one of the most popular music streaming platforms, and more are the services that work with the app. Despite its popularity, it still lacks a feature that supporters have long requested—background playback. 

This app serves two purposes, with the first being a music player to play your locally stored files. Second and more importantly, it functions as a YouTube video player. Its main page is dedicated to a discover section wherein you can see the latest and trending videos from the platform. Change to any region you want and even enable closed captions if you want content from other countries. 

What everyone wanted all along 

Choose a video to be downloaded and saved to your gallery for playback. If you jump back to your home screen to do other tasks, it will continue to play in the background. A couple of things before proceeding, though. The UI design is already a little outdated, and second, it consumes a lot of system resources, so it won't do well on older devices. 

As it uses popular streaming platforms and just removes ads, YMusic shines with its free uninterrupted playback with video and music streaming platforms. The app supports downloading, playlist creation, sorting, and an immaculate browsing experience without all the bloatware the previous apps have. Moreover, it retains the the functions of these platforms without fail such as Spotify’s lyrics on songs and access to Youtube’s massive catalogue. 

What everyone wanted all along

YMusic stands out as a practical solution for users wanting uninterrupted playback from YouTube and other media sources. Its dual functionality as a local media player and YouTube video player, combined with features like downloading and playlist creation, enhances the listening experience. While the outdated UI and high system demand may deter some, it remains a valuable app for seamless and ad-free streaming.
