YouTube Music will come pre-installed on all Android 10 phones

YouTube Music for Android can play your local song collection
[ad_1] There are limits, at least in the current iteration. You can’t add local tracks to playlists or queues that include YouTube Music songs, and you can’t cast local songs elsewhere. Not surprisingly, the playback controls also remove YouTube-specific features such as the like and unlike buttons. If those aren’t deal-breakers, though, you now have […]
