But when it comes to drivers, using YouTube Music behind the wheel is a huge headache, not only because it lacks feature parity with Google Play Music, but also because the essential functionality isn’t there.
The good news is that earlier this year Google promised to fix all of these snags, explaining that while it plans to further refine YouTube Music, it just takes a little more time to do so.
And it appears that the search company has finally started to focus more on the Android Auto side of YouTube Music, as it recently released a new feature for drivers. It’s a queue option that appears when a song is played on YouTube Music both on Android Auto and when music is streamed to car speakers via Bluetooth.
There’s no official announcement on this, and it turns out that the new feature isn’t driven by a new software update. Instead, what enables it in the car is a server-side switch, and users in this reddit thread explain that the tail button appeared earlier this week on their cars.
At the same time, the new queue option also appears in Android Auto for phones, so even if you don’t run the app on a larger screen, the queue is still there, and this shows that Google wants to offer feature consistency regardless of the platform you are using.
At the moment, the transition from Google Play Music to YouTube Music is still underway, so hopefully Google would manage to resolve other shortcomings in its subscription-based service before taking its old media platform offline.
