MusicTube 4.0

YouTube has become over the years the go-to place not only for those wanting to actually watch videos, but also for those seeking to enjoy music in the background without the hassle of putting together a playlist, downloading music players and so on.

While this is something that works pretty much flawlessly when you’re on a desktop computer or a laptop, it doesn’t really work well on mobile since YouTube has yet to figure out a way to have videos continue playing when you’re multitasking or locking the device. Sure, the folks over at the company have been vowing to get onto this for a while now, but we’re not seeing results just yet.

Fix it all

That being said, a tool like MusicTube will solve all your problems. The app plays YouTube music videos just like any other type of content. If you have to check out another app, the music will keep on playing, and the same will happen if you lock the device and shove it in your purse or pocket.

The app’s interface is pretty simple and doesn’t come with complicated features. There are five tabs you can check out, each with their own content. For instance, the “Popular” one gives you access to videos that are particularly liked these days. You can further check out various artists and music genres that are popular. Tapping on any of them will reveal a lot of videos from that particular artist or genre. Tapping on the plus sign next to each of these will add them to the playlist. There’s also the possibility of playing them all by pressing the shuffle button at the top.

Charts, tracks and your own playlists

MusicTube further gives you access to various charts, a list with music you’ve liked, be it individual tracks or playlists. It’s also possible to search for music, channels or playlists.

If you have any music playing in the background, you’ll notice an active tracker near the bottom of the screen. If the phone is blocked, you’ll still be able to control the music player without having to unlock the device.

MusicTube is a pretty great tool that allows you to take advantage of a feature that the official YouTube app doesn’t have, despite many years of pleas from the user base. It works nice and it’s fast, which is pretty great.
