YouTube “Music Key” Subscription Service Launches In Beta Next Week
The music service is going out via limited beta at first, which you can sign up for at a site set up by Google over on YouTube. The service arrives alongside a new launch of a music category for YouTube that collects all music videos, as well as recommended playlists, based on both your interests and on what’s trending across the video site. It’ll also offer up content updates from artists you follow, show you your most-frequently listened-to tracks and more. In short, Google has created a full-fledged streaming music site, but with the added wrinkle that it has a strong emphasis on video content.
Full albums are now coming to YouTube, too, complete with official music videos, and videos added by YouTube’s own “music partners” to supplement where official videos aren’t available. This new service is free and ad-supported by default, but using Music Key ‘unlocks’ (get it?) the ability to use all of the above without seeing any annoying ads or pre-roll.
Invites with access should start rolling out next week on Monday. Google’s got a great idea here, and one that seems like a good fit beyond just music on YouTube. Free access to the ad-supported version should be accessible beginning now.

NukaTiffxny So many sites to get this free. Just another way to gobble money.
Oh well, somebodies always willing to pay money for their entertainment; Pretty much just iTunes.
Exactly what I was thinking, just another way to buy songs, yet there is so many ways of getting free songs anyway :/

Reb But surely if you want to listen to music with background playback, then why not just download the music.. it's free and now legal.

Some people obviously prefer to use music services such as this.

DeluxeHazard Or you could use AdBlock and watch the music videos for free like you can now. Companies putting a price on the internet is just saddens me.
I try not to use Adblock but sometimes you just need to.

JoePlaysCoDKonviictedxKat Pretty dumb, I literally know 0 people who pay for music
Do you even realize how dumb you sound? That's horrible. The only reason artists and bands can keep making music is from fans buying their music and advertisement. If literally no one in the world paid for music, there would be no music. You and the people you know are pretty ignorant.
How do they sound dumb?:L Why would you PAY for music? You can just youtube it anyway, with adblock ofc, but also just pirate it?:L Who cares, these singers are rich anyway.
You do realise that you watchig/listening to their music videos on YouTube (especially on Vevo) and other free streaming sites actually earn the artists money? If I payed even just 2p for every song I wanted to buy, I'd be broke flat. Same as if I payed 10 quid every time I wanted to see a film at the cinema, I always pirate where I can. Some people call it sad and pathetic but really, if you had 2 Lamborghini Gallardos in front of you: One was free and the other you had to pay for it... which one would you choose?
