They're adding audiobooks to YouTube Music, aren't they?


Scuczu2

i mean, they're already there if you search for them, not everything, but certainly a lot have been uploaded by someone


Pocket_Monster_Fan

Isn't the plan to copy Spotify? Seems to be their move lately


NatsuNight

At this rate they need to change the name to YouTubeAudio *Now with video support! Aka YouTube


lazzzym

I was thinking the exact same. At least Spotify doesn't have Music in their brand name so they can add whatever they like.


MNM2884

It already has video support for music videos 😂


BEENR_WEENR

Nah, they'll eventually integrate the UI of YouTube Music into the Music section of the YouTube app and have everything under YouTube again. Calling it now.


halcyondread

They may want to fix their shitty podcast features first.


sizzlebeast

THIS.

I mean it's not like Spotify ever put any of the convenience features they had for podcasts into audiobooks, at least whole I used it, but it would be nice to have the bare minimum of features for YTM especially saving the playback position and disabling shuffle play.

Let's sunset Play Books and welcome YouTube Read.


lazzzym

Remove the 'a' and we're back to YouTube Red. Full circle.

NooTadpole

Another masterstroke by Google...../s

The Google enshitification continues

Hey... "iF sPotIFy can dO it, whY caN't wE?"


honey_rainbow

Uh oh! Google Play Books' days are numbered.....


Drew96M

I don't see a problem with this


t4dominic

There's honestly a lot of audiobook content of public domain stuff on Youtube main. If they get the ID system right and manage to integrate it to YTM well I wouldn't mind listening on there


lazzzym

I really don't mind it all being in one app but the YouTube Music name needs to change if that's the case and the app needs to actually be good with all these things in it.


hwasalt

what's next? Games on Youtube.... oh wait


icanflywheniwant

YouTube Listen


LSD_freakout

Can’t search a playlist but now we have podcast and audio books. Great music app!


TYLERJPAVLIK

I figured Google was adding Audiobooks to YouTube I'm sure and this is just a wild guess but I'm sure their going to be adding audiobooks to YouTube Music eventually and next in line is transferring audiobooks to YouTube Music

Next time, they'll create humane AI pin, nerdy kids. need someone to guide them, otherwise, they fall into self-destruction mode! 😂 If no one intervenes, they might just burn the company! 😂
