Ask Music” is the name of the AI prompt-based conversational radio in YouTube Music, and it’s seeing wider availability, including internationally, in recent weeks.
The feature appears as a purple card in the Home feed, like Create a radio or the banner advertising the availability of the June – August 2024 recap. Tapping launches a fullscreen chat UI with accepted prompts ranging from a few words — 80s inspired indie, Dreamy synthpop, Saddest songs, etc. — to sentences.
After a few seconds, you get a playlist card with YTM translating that query into a shorter title and longer description. It auto-plays the first track by default with the ability to save to your library, and provide feedback.
Cool! Yet another way to have Google loop the same 20 songs tangentially related to the artist I searched for without actually playing the artist I searched for.
Is this what Google thinks people want than stuff like editing Playlist covers, removal of Samples, et al? I want my music player to be lean and simple, not a boggy useless mess.
AI controlled music is legit a cool idea, just thumbs up or down the song it played to change it and show me new cool stuff.
Except Google.

Yeah.
Except Google.
Lol
Arse music.
YouTube Music’s shuffle can’t even work right. What faith should I have in this AI?
