If you want to stream music for free on mobile devices, one of the all-time options currently available isYouTube Music (available on Android and on iOS). This app lets you browse and listen to YouTube as if it were a music streaming service, making it a formidable competitor to the likes of Spotify, Pandora, etc.

It gets even better if you lot subscribe to the YouTube Red program because Red membership unlocks a special feature: the power to stream audio without video, which can salve a ton on bandwidth and information usage. But what if you don't take a Cherry membership?

Fortunately, YouTube recently added a new feature that lets youonly stream when you're connected to a Wi-Fi network. It's a common feature in streaming apps like this, so it'due south strange that information technology took this long to be implemented, only the good news is that itis here, and then you should enable information technology ASAP.

All you have to do is open the side menu, select Settings, and tick the checkbox for the setting labeledStream via Wi-Fi just. If you still desire to stream on mobile data but only in non-Hard disk drive quality, tick the checkbox forLimit mobile data usage instead.

The best part is that these options are available even if yous're just a gratis user, but you should yet consider getting a Red membership anyway. Despite some of the downsides to the Reddish plan, y'all go a lot of neat benefits like ad-complimentary browsing and access to YouTube's library of original shows and films.
