How To Download Songs & Playlists From YouTube Music (Android & iPhone)
YouTube Music users can download songs and playlists to listen to offline, provided they have a Premium subscription. YouTube offers separate subscriptions for videos and music. A YouTube Premium subscription includes access to YouTube Music Premium, but not vice-versa. While the former is more of an all-in-one subscription that includes benefits for videos and music, the latter is a music streaming subscription that's an alternative to Spotify and Apple Music.
Either way, both subscriptions give users access to several benefits, including the ability to listen to ad-free music, play music in the background when using other apps on a phone, enable an audio-only mode to listen to music without loading a video, cast music to a speaker or smart display, and download music for offline playback. A standalone YouTube Music Premium subscription costs $9.99 per month for individuals, and $14.99 per month for a family plan.

YouTube Music Premium users have two methods to download music for offline playback. The first involves enabling smart downloads, while the second requires users to manually download a song or playlist. Smart downloads automatically download music based on a user's previous listening history. To enable this on Android, open the YouTube Music app and tap on the profile photo in the top right corner. Tap on Downloads, and then on the Settings (gear) icon. Turn on the toggle next to Smart downloads. Users can remove a particular album or playlist from smart downloads by clicking on the three-dot Menu button and then tapping Remove download. To manually download a song, playlist or album on Android, tap on the Menu button and then tap Download.
