📢 Vote for Feature Requests & Top Issues
Announcement
Happy New Year!
At YouTube Music, we’re always looking at ways to differentiate our products from other platforms and improve our listener's experience. Our teams prioritize feature requests based on feedback we see from our userbase, either through the official feedback tool or here, directly from the community!
In an attempt to be more transparent on what top feature requests are, I want to collect all community feature requests for YouTube Music oin this post.
Here’s how it’ll work:
In an attempt to be more transparent on what top feature requests are, I want to collect all community feature requests for YouTube Music oin this post.
Here’s how it’ll work:
- Every now and then, I’ll update this thread with top feature requests I’m seeing from you (and mark them as a recommended answer for better visibility!)
- If you see a feature request that you like (and want us to prioritize), you should upvote it
- I'll take these requests to Product teams on your behalf, based on ones that have the most upvotes - so please upvote vs post a duplicate!
- As much as possible, I’ll try to update you when we’re working on one of your feature requests (or if I have other updates from Product teams!)
Psst. If you don’t see your feature request in the list, you can share your idea by directly replying to the post. If I see lots of similar replies, I’ll be sure to add them to the feature request list up top!
Finally, if you’d like to be notified about future updates (or read through past ones), make sure you check out our bi-monthly YouTube Music feature updates. Here’s our most recent update from December!

I've just published a project study for a new music recommender system that I'd like to share with you.
This music recommendation design came from a simple observation: No platform offers real interaction with its users to personalize the suggested playlists. Either the selection relies on an "intelligent" random mix, an initial track, or at most, a button to indicate that we don’t like the suggested content. Each time, no dynamic suggestions are made.
The concept is based on a 3x3 grid. The most practical way to understand it is to watch this 11-second video: https://gitlab.com/Louis-max/musicalgrid/-/blob/main/preview.mp4
With every click, the grid shifts, revealing new sectors that are necessarily discovered and can adapt to our most recent interaction. To put it simply: You can now navigate a 2D musical space!
Do you see what that implied ?
- At any moment, you can choose the direction of your listening experience.
- Playlists are now paths, branches, with ramifications, and cycles.
- As we move, could we possibly cross paths with other people? Imagine encountering a friend during your listening session or a complete stranger from your city sharing your musical tastes. People can now form radio groups, vote via the grid for the next track and hope for your song to be shared amongst others, or just let yourself be carried by the flow.
If you want to create the future of social music networks or integrate this idea to your streaming service, please contact me.
