Google said its wholly refreshed YouTube Music app and service are being made available starting today. The app has been rebuilt with a new recommendation engine with a home screen that dynamically adapts based on listening habits. The service includes thousands of playlists across most genres, moods, and activities. The app supports keyword- and lyric-based search to boost discovery. It packs music videos, official albums, remixes, live performances, and singles, along with the newest and trending videos. Paid members will be able to download a YouTube Music mixtape for offline, ad-free listening. The service costs $9.99 per month and is included in the new YouTube Premium service. Google is rolling the new app out in stages.
