Google is taking YouTub Red and splitting it into two new services as of next Tuesday May 22nd.<\/p>\n
A new YouTube Music streaming service is essentially Google Play Music rebranded and all your playlists and uploaded music will carry over if you’ve been a previous customer. It will be accessible for free (with ads) or a paid Premium version which allows background listening & downloadable music for US$9.99.<\/p>\n
YouTube Premium on the other hand is the current YouTube Red service at a higher price, going from US$9.99 to US$11.99. Red, or the soon-to-be “Premium” includes added video content as well as an ad free YouTube experience, which once you’ve had is hell to come back from.<\/p>\n
The good news for current YouTube Red subscribers is that you’ll be migrated to the new YouTube Premium product and grandfathered into the old pricing!<\/p>\n
So if you’ve ever toyed with the idea of subscribing to YouTube Red but haven’t, now’s the time to do it!<\/p>\n
