YouTube Music’s New Feature Solves a Longstanding Volume Problem
YouTube Music is introducing a much-needed feature called Consistent Volume, designed to solve one of the most common complaints among users: volume inconsistency across tracks. This new addition ensures that songs play at similar volumes, eliminating the need for manual adjustments.
Users can enable the Consistent Volume toggle in the Playback settings of the YouTube Music app, providing a smoother listening experience. This is a significant update that promises to enhance the overall quality of music playback on the platform.
Solving the Volume Inconsistency Issue
Over the years, YouTube Music has made significant strides in improving its user interface, music recommendations, and overall functionality. However, one issue that many users, including myself, have faced is the volume inconsistency between songs.
- The inconsistency has often led to a frustrating experience, where the volume of one track is noticeably louder or quieter than the next.
- Many have voiced similar complaints, and now, Consistent Volume aims to fix this by ensuring a more balanced experience throughout playback.
Similar to YouTube’s Stable Volume Feature
Spotted first by 9to5Google, the Consistent Volume feature mirrors YouTube’s Stable Volume, which normalizes the volume across YouTube videos.
- Like Stable Volume, YouTube Music’s new feature ensures that users don’t have to adjust the volume every time a new track plays.
- This feature is especially beneficial for those who enjoy listening to playlists or albums, where the volume could otherwise fluctuate between tracks.
How to Enable Consistent Volume
Currently, the Consistent Volume feature is slowly rolling out, but it has already appeared for iPhone users on YouTube Music version 8.15.
- To activate this feature, go to Settings > Playback and toggle on the Consistent volume option.
- As of now, the feature has yet to show up on Android devices, and there is no official word on when it will be available on the web version of YouTube Music.
Looking Ahead: What’s Next for YouTube Music?
With Consistent Volume addressing one of the platform’s most prominent issues, YouTube Music is making strides to improve the overall listening experience. The next most requested feature by users is a Spotify Connect-like option that would allow them to sync and control their music across different devices.
- This addition would be a welcome improvement, as many users have expressed interest in a more seamless experience when moving from one device to another.
With these ongoing updates, YouTube Music is continuing to evolve, offering users a more polished and enjoyable music streaming experience.
