YtDesktop

With the launch of YouTube's Music service, there has been an abundance of clients dealing with an offline interface for this particular side of the famous online video service. YtDesktop is exactly what it advertises, an offline face for the music service, and a way for users to enjoy music without crowding their browsers with extra tabs. The application is quite rudimentary, yet it keeps the original YouTube vibe intact.

The first thing you might notice, when running the application, is the fact that there really isn't an abundance of options or settings with this app. It almost feels like a window containing the original YouTube Music interface without any additions. If you want to access your library, you'll have to sign in to your Google account. Aside from this, accessing videos/tracks is not in any way conditioned by you signing into your account.

It almost sounds like a dieting technique, but the main points of this application stand out as such. It's fast, so fast in fact that at times it seems to behave better than the browser variant. Menus and videos load lightning fast. Every aspect, every dependency loads in seconds. Lastly, the application is no resource hog. You can run it even in the background and have no issues at all with whatever applications you are using over that.

YtDesktop is a lightweight, simple application destined for those who want to avoid crowding their browser with music tabs. Let this application take care of your track-listening needs, without having to deal with any frustration. Keeping up with the service's original look means that you won't have trouble adapting, which ultimately represents the biggest advantage. For those users looking for an option0filled variant of the same music service, this is definitely not a good choice.
