The update will provide users with a more music-focused view of the dashboard. It will display the most popular music videos and artists on YouTube at the moment, followed by genre-specific charts and playlists, which sounds a lot like what Spotify is offering its users, except that this will be in video form.
Of course we expect that if a user likes what they’re hearing, they can always turn to Music Key to listen to the audio-only version instead of having to stream videos which could end up eating more data, although as it stands Music Key is in beta and will be invite-only. The updated app will also include a playback option called YouTube Mx that will create a randomized playlist that is based on a song or artist.
If you have yet to update your iOS YouTube app, you can do so by heading on over to the iTunes App Store for the download.
