Switch seamlessly between song and music video with YouTube Music.
YouTube’s Music streaming service has introduced a quaint little feature that lets users switch between listening to a song and watching the song’s music video without skipping a beat.

Users can then select the option of their choosing, switching seamlessly between song and video without any lagging or interruption.

If you want to stick to just audio, go into settings and turn off the music video option by selecting “don’t play music videos.”

What makes Smart Download different to the Offline Mixtape feature is that the former can save up to 500 tracks whereas the latter could only save 100.
And then, the streaming platform has launched some playlists for South African users, including:
YouTube Music may be fairly new to the streaming game, but they are definitely putting up a valiant effort.
