YouTube has introduced YouTube Music Key, the company’s new subscription service for web, Android and iOS that lets you watch and listen to music without ads, in the background or offline. This was leaked back in August.
You can watch favorite music videos, recommended music playlists based on what you’re into and playlists of trending music across YouTube for free. It has new pages that display an artist’s entire discography and all the videos associated with their music. Android and iOS apps would be updated with these features soon.

YouTube Music Key beta, monthly subscription service is available at a promotional price of US$7.99/month and the original price is US$9.99/month. This includes subscription to Google Play Music and the ability to watch YouTube official music videos right from the app in coming months.
The YouTube Music Key will launch as invite-only beta next week and is likely to be U.S. only for now. Those who have an invite can try YouTube Music Key for six months for free. YouTube said its availability will expand over time.
