By joining Download. Google's media streaming options are getting increasingly confusing, so some definition is in order: YouTube Red is the subscription version of YouTube, which removes ads and lets you download videos for offline viewing, among other things. You can download everything: Granted, there are already unofficial browser extensions that let you download YouTube videos, but Red's integration of the feature makes the process much cleaner. You'll get all your downloaded videos in one section, sorted by reverse chronology, and they'll stay there indefinitely, as long as you connect your device to the Internet at least every 30 days. It removes ads in a way that rewards content creators : Sure, you can block ads on any website these days, but that means less money for the site to produce content. A YouTube Red subscription eliminates all ads in a way that doesn't hurt creators. It's bundled with a high-quality music streaming service: Google Play Music isn't available on as many devices as Spotify, but it does have one major advantage: You can take your MP3s and upload them to your account, and they'll get added seamlessly to your Play Music library. This enables you to listen to certain artists who do not stream certain albums or entire catalogs. And like YouTube, it's fully Chromecast-aware, so you can wirelessly send your tunes to your home theater system.
