For years people are consuming their music through YouTube with their endless & updated music videos.<\/p>

Now with YouTube-Music<\/a> you can enjoy your music through YouTube but without the distractions.<\/p>

All you need is the premium membership of YouTube Music and some settings.<\/p>

1st would be to allow music to play in the background, so we could for instance navigate and listen to music simultaneously - this is available only with premium membership of YouTube Music.<\/p>

2nd tweak would be to turn the video off and make YouTube Music a Music-Only player, to do this, in your YouTube Music App:
1. Select your profile photo > Settings > Playback & Restrictions.
2. Toggle Don\u2019t play music videos to the on position.<\/p>

That's it! your YouTube Music is set, enjoy your safe drive!<\/p>

For more information on these, see Google reference:<\/p>

- Play music in the background<\/a><\/p>

- Choose between song and video mode<\/a><\/p>

- Get a YouTube paid membership<\/a><\/p>

Don't like jumping out to an external app? you prefer an integrated music player with big buttons and less distractions? use iCarMode's music player, read all about it in here<\/a>.<\/p>

Download iCarMode from the AppStore:<\/p>
