YouTube Music now gets a much-desired feature



 
YouTube Music will now allow the YouTube Red members to download music for offline 
access for up to 30 days by downloading their favorite songs. With this, users can now keep listening to their favorite artists even when they are nor connected to the internet or want to save on data.
After the latest update, users will find a new 'Save Offline' option under the Menu icon,after which they are given the choice to save just the audio, SD video or HD video. 
"The number of songs you can download depends on how much free space is available on your device. It is also impacted by the length and quality of the audio or video files that you wish to save." said the company in its official blog.
Offline access to music was earlier enabled through "Offline Mixtape" feature. This feature automatically  generates songs based on users listening habits and what Google thought they will like to listen to.
