YouTube is Starting Their Own Paid Music Service in March of Next Year

YouTube has finally made up their mind and they’re going to compete with other music services like Spotify and Apple. They’ve tried a few times before, but this time they’re adding a few wrinkles they haven’t offered in the past. However, with the competition fully entrenched I’m not sure if they can make a splash. Regardless, I’ll give it a free trial when it starts.



YouTube must overcome several hurdles to meet a March target. Not only has YouTube been trying to negotiate new deals with Universal and Sony for more than a year, but it also has a talks with Vevo looming early next year. Vevo, owned by Universal and Sony, distributes music videos for their acts.
