PlayMe

If you prefer the mobile version of YouTube to the web edition, you might be interested in PlayMe. It provides an elegant interface for YouTube Music, giving you the possibility to watch videos and listen to music on your desktop, without having to use a web browser.

Before resorting to this application, you should keep in mind that YouTube Music is not yet available in all countries (a workaround is to use a VPN client, though). Next, you just have to log in with your Google account to gain access to your YouTube collections.

The home section of PlayMe shows various playlists and songs based on your track history as well as region, such as energy boosters, the biggest hits of the current day, feel-good favorites, mellow moods, throwback jams, endless summer songs, new releases, new and trending songs, recommended music videos, live performances, new videos, deep focus instrumentals, and your favorites.

If you want to work or play while watching a video, you can make its window small and move it to the corner of the screen. Autoplay mode can be enabled or disabled for playlists. As far as navigation is concerned, standard control are available, like playing the previous or next song in the list, shuffle, and repeat.

You can view a hotlist, create a library of favorite music, videos and albums, check out artists and liked songs, as well as run YouTube searches. When it comes to general preferences, you can hide videos with potentially mature content by enabling restricted mode, as well as manage location history.

The software utility worked smoothly throughout our evaluation, running on minimal system resources. It comes in handy for all users who prefer the mobile version of YouTube when it comes to listen to their favorite music or watching videos.
