YouTube Music is experimenting with a new option named “Daily Discover” that might give it a competitive advantage over Spotify. This option delivers users a daily stream of new tracks, each with a brief note explaining its selection. In contrast to Spotify’s structured playlists, YouTube Music’s method provides song-by-song suggestions with instant context, making it distinctive.
The option is showcased as a carousel on YouTube Music’s main screen, complete with a “Play All” button for creating a quick playlist. The layout is larger and more visually appealing, featuring prominent album art that is hard to overlook. Each track comes with a short tag, such as “Because you liked” or “For fans of,” offering insight into the recommendation.
At this moment, the option is undergoing testing and is accessible to a select group of users. Its location on the homepage could change, and it appears randomly for some individuals. Information about the number of tracks shown or any restrictions remains unclear. Google has yet to disclose when or if it will be available to the public.
This new option seeks to improve music discovery by providing tailored daily suggestions, possibly distinguishing YouTube Music from rivals like Spotify.
