The ability for users to design their own Custom radio may soon be available on the Google-owned music streaming Platform YouTube Music.
Users can already customise their current queue based on familiarity, genre, mood, energy level, and more directly from the Now Playing screen.
According to 9to5Google, Some YouTube Music users are reportedly noticing “Create a radio” in the main feed as part of a limited rollout.
The next step will allow users to “tune your music” in a manner reminiscent of the initial setup process for YouTube Music.
Following their selections, users will be given three “Song selection” options from YouTube Music: Familiar, Blend, and Discover.
According to the report, “Filters” will similarly include — Popular, Deep cuts, New releases, Pump-up, Chill, Upbeat, Downbeat, and Focus.
Dynamic queue, a new feature that helped YouTube Music get queue and radio updates based on users’ listening behaviour, was tested in July.
If users switch to a different track while a song is still playing on YouTube Music, the playback queue will be changed.
