Rumors made the rounds recently that Google was going to create amusic subscription service for YouTube.
Why wait, though?
There is also the issue of audio quality.
Google has even made it easier by adding discography informationwhen you search for an artist.
If you’re ready to move beyond the basics, though, here are a few things to try.
you could use the service to create your own playlists, or follow those of others.
Whyd aggregates YouTube, Vimeo, and SoundCloud songs, so there’s a pretty big library available.
Because it’s user-driven, it excels at discovery over most of the other apps in this section.
The accompanying iPhone app doesn’t hurt either.
Streamus(Chrome)
Most of us don’t spend all day staring at our music player.
We prefer to just put it on in the background and forget about it.
If you use Chrome, Streamus couldn’t make that easier.
Since then, plug.dj stepped up to fill the void.
The service is designed to let friends take turns playing songs for a shared room.
Unfortunately, the official YouTube app doesn’t let you listen to videos in the background (yet).
uListen lets you browse YouTube for videos and play the audio in the background.
The video won’t load at all, which certainly saves precious bandwidth.
It pitches itself as an audio player first, second, and last.
Viral, on the other hand, only offers background audio playback as one of its many features.
Tuner offers a similar experience, without the playlist-centric model.
Both make great music players, though.
There are tons of ways to get your groove on from anywhere right now.
