YouTube Music introduces new feature allowing PC users to download tracks on its web app.
YouTube Music has released a new feature that makes offline listening easier. Previously, the streaming platform allowed users to download music while offline through a mobile app (both Android and iPhone). But now it has introduced its desktop app counterpart to this feature. Desktop Web users can now download their favorite music and playlists and listen to them when they don’t have an Internet connection, according to 9to5Google. Users can even download and save the entire playlist for convenient listening without an internet connection.
YouTube has reportedly been testing this feature on desktop computers for some time with a small number of users. The report added that the feature now appears to have gained wider availability, and YouTube Music is expected to roll out the offline listening feature to all users in the coming days.
Users participating in the testing phase have been told there will be a message next to the Library tab that reads “New! Download music to listen offline.” If you also received this message, you can also download your favorite songs for offline listening in the YouTube Music desktop app.
It’s important to note that offline downloads of YouTube Music on the desktop web app count towards YouTube Music’s 10-device download limit. Additionally, offline downloads expire if desktop users do not connect their device to the Internet at least once every 30 days, just like the mobile app.
