YouTube Music now usable in unsupported countries
YouTube Music subscribers can now access and listen to their music when travelling in countries that do not support the streaming service.
YouTube Music follows in the footsteps of such streaming services as Spotify and Apple Music, which allow access to offline playlists and tracks without the same geo-restrictions when travelling.
“YouTube Music Premium members get access to their paid membership benefits and their music library in the YouTube Music app, even if you are in a country/region where YouTube Music is not available,” YouTube Music said. “The music content that is available to you at home will travel with you for six months so you can keep enjoying your listening experience. Your downloads will also remain available to you for 30 days without an internet connection.
“Your paid membership benefits (such as offline listening, background play, ad-free listening, etc.) will only apply in the YouTube Music app while you are travelling. These benefits are not currently supported for traveling members in other apps and services.”
Most YouTube users had challenges accessing downloaded tracks and offline playlists disappeared when travelling in unsupported countries such as Algeria, Zimbabwe, Nigeria, Zambia, Taiwan, Belarus and Puerto Rico.
