YouTube Music comes with the news of a new surprise for its users this November. With the year ending, a new feature on YouTube comes as a gift for music lovers across the globe. It is the ‘Energize’ food filter that will be available on both Android and iOS. The users are very excited about the new addition and hope it turns out to be great. YouTube music is always bringing exciting changes to its features. The platform is continuously updating and upgrading itself to satisfy its audience.
What is the ‘Energize’ mood filter?
YouTube Music included a new feature, the Activity Bar last year. It offers the users personalized and customizable playlists on the home tab under different moods. The playlists are created based on what artists and genres the user listen to generally. There were four moods in the Activity Bar earlier, Workout, Relax, Commute, and Focus. The platform is now adding the fifth mood called, ‘Energize’. It uses an image of the Shibuya Crossing in Tokyo as its top cover image.
It starts with a ‘Mixed for you’ carousel that has four playlists, ‘Energy Supermix’, ‘Energy Mix 1’, ‘Energy Mix 2’, and ‘Energy Mix 3’. There are other playlist carousels like Metal Mosh Pits, Indie & Alt anthems, Dance club beats, Rock & punk anthems, Hip-Hop energy, Pop bangers, and others. All the playlists have songs from various artists. You will be able to listen to your favorite artists and discover new ones with the playlists.
How to access it?
The new mood filter is placed right after the first one, Workout. ‘Energize’ is quite broader than Workout. To listen to the playlists under the new filter just open the app and tap on the ‘Energize’ icon. You will be taken to the personalized homepage with different playlists that will boost your energy to the max. YouTube Music promises to regularly update the playlist bringing in newer and more appropriate tracks in the future.
Why is this significant?
Playlists are the driving forces of every digital streaming platform. Most music lovers do not want to go through the hassle of finding new and quality songs in their favorite genre. Playlists offer a collection of high-quality music both from new and veteran artists. YouTube Music creates playlists as per different moods and they are highly popular among the users. It is very useful for users who can find their favorite music with just a click. The new and emerging artists can reach their target audience easily through the new playlist.
Future plans for the app
Google has recently limited one feature exclusive to its premium users. Earlier the users could only listen to music when the YouTube Music app was open. They have added a new background playback support that you will be able to listen to the songs in the background without even keeping the app open.
The company will also be limiting watching music videos only to premium users. It will be an audio-only app for free users very soon. But they will still be able to stream the music videos from the YouTube app like before. The difference between the free tier and premium tier is shuffling play personalized mixes, listening to millions of songs and thousands of playlists free for the free tier users, listening to the songs with the closed app, songs on-demand, ad-free streaming for the Premium tier users, and more.
Google recently said that YouTube Music has gained 50 million subscribers this September. The subscribers' list includes paid YouTube Music subscribers, YouTube Premium users who receive YouTube Music for free as a part of their subscription, and the one on free trials.
Understanding the entire update is a little difficult for a newbie as that individual is not used to a sudden update made by YouTube. Therefore, Music Promotion Club makes it convenient for the users who want to check easily to click the YouTube video promotion service.
