YouTube Music is one of the best-known music streaming apps, despite the short time it has been available since its launch. But it appeared directly to compete with Spotify, the king of music streaming services. And it seems that he is serious, the people of Google have added to YouTube Music an interesting novelty to compete against the Swedish giant.
Something that has made Spotify stand out is the ability it has to make you discover music thanks to its Daily Mixes, Weekly Discovery and similar options. Well, it seems that now YouTube wants to offer a similar option, we will tell you what is new that YouTube Music offers us.
Discover Mix from YouTube Music
The new YouTube Music option is DiscoverMix. This option is very similar to the Weekly Discovery offered by Spotify. What this option does is create a playlist with 49 songs. These songs will be based on your tastes, that is, based on the likes y dislikes that you have been giving to the songs during the week.
This list will be updated every Wednesday. So you will have the weekend available to discover all the music that YouTube has selected for you.
This option has not yet been launched globally, in fact, not even for a specific country or region. At the moment only a few lucky ones (quite randomly) have received this news.
When we all receive it, it will be seen that this will be found next to the mixed lists section for you. So accessing it will be quite simple.
Will it be able to compete with Spotify?
But the question as many users are asking is ... Will it be able to compete with Spotify?
YouTube's Discover Mix offers 49 songs, while Spotify offers 30 songs. A clear point for YouTube offering 19 more songs, which are not few.
The Spotify Weekly Discovery is updated every Monday, which makes a lot of sense. While YouTube Music's Discover Mix is updated every Wednesday. This may not be decisive. It will also go to everyone's liking when you think it is the best time to update it.
Now what we will need to see once all users receive it is if it hits the songs with the same precision as Spotify. Also with Spotify you not only have the Weekly Discovery, but the Daily Mixes, so YouTube Music still has a way to go against Spotify if it wants to compete with you.
