Are you a YouTube Music user? On PC or mobile? To pay or not to pay? The three answers you give matter because depending on the circumstances you will be more or less interested in this news. In fact, the important question is the last one, because it depends on the level of your enjoyment or, on the contrary, suffering when using the service.

In summary: an account of The YouTube team on Twitter conducts a survey asking “Which ad-supported YouTube Music feature do you want the most?«. And of course, there’s only one YouTube Music ad plan: the free one; and if there is a “feature” it’s obvious to any user of the free plan what it is. Or not?

I think so, and the results of this survey confirm it for now: better recommendations, auto-shutdown, background playback and improved lyrics They’re options that can be voted on, and the most popular of them all is… One that screams to the heavens that YouTube Music doesn’t allow, and that the service has promised to allow for a long time.

If you still haven’t guessed what it is, you either don’t use YouTube Music or you don’t use it in a mobile application with a free tariff, because even the constant ads that get almost between topics are not as hateful as not being able to listen to music with the app in the background or with the screen off. Nonsense they already promised to fix.

There is actually an exception to the rule, and that’s with user-uploaded music, because as you know, YouTube Music allows you to save 20,000 songs to your personal library. An advantage that other music services lack streamingbut that doesn’t make up for the poor performance of Google’s platform on others like this one.

All in all, maybe it’s worth taking part in the survey, if they hurry up a bit to get rid of the shame. Because it’s one thing that the plan is free, and another thing is that it includes features as basic as background playback. As if they didn’t put out enough ads and move on to the next one.

In case you’re wondering, the TeamYouTube account isn’t a YouTube or YouTube Music account, but the developers behind the service in a sort of informational and helpful account aimed at the most avid coffee users. There are six days left in the survey, so don’t worry if you miss it.

On the other hand, if you are a user of YouTube Music and although it is likely that you have already seen it, we remind you in case that, like other services in the same category, YouTube Music Recap 2022 has launched, an overview of what you have heard so far this year, including trends, identity and other interesting things about you.
