You will have to sideload the app as there is no Play Store version but it also allows you to stream audio only and shows a still image instead of a video to minimize download. If you don’t like the look of YMusic, another app called FireTube does a similar thing. It uses a version of Jockey Player for playback which is an open source project and supports playlists and all that good stuff. It even integrates into YouTube to allow you to search and find tracks to listen to. Playback is clear and it works relatively quickly. You have to sideload it as there isn’t a version on the Play Store but aside from that, this app works like a charm. There are no reports of malicious code or anything negative and my version played for a few hours in one sitting without crashing. I installed in on my Galaxy S7 and it works well. The official website is where you can download the newest version of the app. Called YMusic, the app lets you play music from YouTube without downloading the accompanying video which achieves our goal. There is an app on XDA Developers that can do it though. Use an app to listen to YouTube without videoĪs far as I know, there is no officially supported app on the Google Play Store that allows you to strip video from audio and have one without the other. If you do opt for this, you will gain access to audio mode which just plays the music from YouTube and not video. It may work for you though so check it out. It is expensive though and right now, doesn’t seem to offer the depth of content that Spotify does.
