The teams behind Google Play Music and YouTube Music will be merged into a single unit to create a unified Google music app. Both apps are still independent from each other for now. YouTube Music is a component of YouTube Red and Google has released a program extending its free try out services to four months, which goes for Google Music Play as well.

How You Can Avail Google Music and YouTube Red Subscription for Free

Google Play Music and YouTube Red have a $9.99 a month subscription fee. Google now allows users to avail the free trial service of both these apps up to four months, Android Authority reported. Customers need to put in their debit or credit card info if they want to sign in for the free trial and be charged with the $9.99 a month fee, but they can always choose to cancel before the demo ends to avail the free services.

Google Music and YouTube Red Subscription and Other Bonuses

Subscribing to YouTube Red gives the users access to both YouTube Music and Google Play Music. Merging apps is a wise strategy as people today are cutting down apps on their phones and other music apps in the industry like Amazon, Apple, and even Facebook are becoming more aggressive, The Verge reported. The major benefit for using Google's music app is to let users listen to their favorite music without add interruption, listen to them offline, and many more.

YouTube Music turns the listening experience on YouTube as a stand alone audio-only streaming app. Besides also being a streaming service, Google Play Music serves as a cloud-based locker where users can store and upload their favorite songs in their own playlists. Meanwhile, YouTube Red is Google's paid subscription service that lets users gain free-access to YouTube content, play them offline, and on the background without video while using other apps, all these without the distracting advertisements.

The free trial version of the apps, which now lasts up to four months, allow users to access free features, listen to music, upload up to 50,000 songs, and listen to radio stations and podcast. Meanwhile, paying the subscription fee means listening to songs from a list of over 35 million tracks ad-free. Users can also download their favorite songs and listen to them while they are at the beach or any other areas without Wi-Fi connection.

Think of all the annoying banner and video ads that pops up before playing any video from YouTube. A paid subscription with YouTube Red removes all of these things. There are also video contents that are only available in YouTube Red, which means users can only watch them if they subscribe.
