YouTube Music Gets Song Play Counts, Expands AI Artwork Feature
-
YouTube Music adds play counts for every song when viewing albums or public playlists. This makes it more similar to the main YouTube video service.
-
The AI-powered playlist artwork creator that generates covers based on themes and aspects is seeing wider availability in the US after initially rolling out in late October.
-
The playlist artwork creator lets you choose from 9 themes like Colors, Moods, Animals, etc. and customize aspects to generate artwork.
-
The play counts are shown on the same line as the artist name and song length in the mobile apps, while some think it makes album pages too crowded.
-
This wider rollout of features like play counts and the playlist artwork creator continues YouTube Music's evolution as a service.
