Google to launch paid Spotify competitor Youtube Remix next year

Google to launch paid Spotify competitor Youtube Remix next year

Word is out that Youtube will start to compete with Spotify and Apple Music next year with a paid music streaming service that might be called Remix. Google  reportedly  made a deal with Warner Music and is in talks with Sony, Universal and several independent record labels.

The news comes from Bloomberg, reports myce, Bloomberg who quotes anonymous sources close to the music industry.

YouTube hasn’t had the same success as Apple or Spotify in convincing people to sign up for its paid music services, though it’s not for lack of trying. Google introduced audio-only streaming service Google Play Music in 2011. YouTube Music Key came along in 2014, giving subscribers ad-free music videos. That morphed into YouTube Red in 2016, letting users watch any video without advertising

Record labels have been criticizing Youtube the last couple of years because many music can be listened to for free through music videos. These free stream generate less revenue for record labels compared to paid streaming services like Spotify Premium.

Google, the parent company of Youtube, already has a streaming service, Google Play Music. In the United States, Youtube also offers a paid service that makes it possible to view music videos offline. However, Youtube Red, as the service is called, focusses less on music and more on premium content from well-known Youtube stars. Youtube’s new streaming service,working title Remix, should be more similar to Spotify and Apple Music, but it will still offer music videos. Bloomberg claims that Youtube has been negotiating with Sony and Universal for more than a year. Next year, Youtube also has to negotiate a new deal with Vevo, the company that licenses music videos from Sony and Universal.

This sentence caught my attention for a second.

Anyway, in 2017 music is still hard to use unlike games with well-developed platforms (steam, etc..). Hopefully more competition will bring easier access to music content.

I still prefer my locally stored .flac over low quality streamed music for rent.

I never really understood why people used YT for listening to music. It's a great resource if you're interested in the music video, tabs, or lyrics, but to just casually listen in the background doesn't make sense to me. Especially if you get a video ad after every other track.

I think you got it, it scratches an itch; nothing more.

As for me, I bought The extremely limited edition of Sgt Peppers earlier this year, for the first in stereo. On vinyl.

Don't forget, with YouTube Red no ads! And if you subscribe to Google Play Music, you get YouTube Red apart of that for $10 a month!
