I don't want AdFree music on Youtube, I want Ad-Free YouTube, and would pay $8 a month for that.
Got a tip for us?

I think these 3 points summarise very well why I am not even gonna bother with Google's music subscription service. Since I'm gonna dump my (crappy) Android phone soon, I could care less about Google anyway.
But hey it's a big corporation, so they wouldn't give the users what they really want (totally ad-free Youtube).

I love everyone that is saying the equivalent of this.
"Why would I pay money? When I can just illegally download the music from youtube?"

I never have any problems watching YouTube videos and my connection is only 4mbps. Sounds like you need a better ISP.
Do any of these apps disable pre-roll video ads and skip straight to the video?
I would pay a monthly subscription just for that.
As others have said, this is worth it just for the $2 discount on Google Play Music subscription. I got mine for the promo price of $7.99 per month when the service was released and I use it every day.
I'll have to check out the Youtube thing(although I don't particularly care for watching music videos).

they already do that. It is done on by the content provider going after copy right infrenchmendt.

oh so true. I have never once regretted me getting all access. Big time at the reduced rate.
Weblock blocks 99% of all ads for me, including Youtube, it's a charm! Another reason why Jailbreak is dead for me.
Don't know if Queens Of The Stone Age is your cup of tea, but there are some very creative MVs these days.

I'm currently in a trial month of Google Play Music All Access. I wonder if this will automatically be included? If it gets rid of ads in Youtube, AND gives you All Access, it'll be worth it. Right now I'm debating whether or not the 9.99 price for All Access is worth it..
lol ... yet Google is to cheap to pay the german "Society for musical performing and mechanical reproduction rights" and instead rather continue to block almost every music vodeo on youtube. pathetic.
also lol at 8$ yet ive never seen a single ad on youtube either ... force html5 and flash blocker ftw
ill stick to Vevo and spotify

This. I'm always perplexed by how many people use YoutTube to actively listen to music. I'm pretty sure if you upload a 128kbps mp3 YouTube somehow manages to degrade it down to 64kbps, and the sheep don't seem to notice.
So Beats will not be joining iTunes? WTF? Didn't Apple buy them out this is not right, who wants to pay for another streaming service when you have iTunes Match.
It's a legitimate point. If your content distribution website is already a haven for distributing copyrighted material for free, what persuadable benefit is there for to becoming a paid subscriber to the same website?
Spotify has been quite satisying to me. Youtube, on the other hand, not so much. It's fine for the occasional look up of a track, but for a dedicated service, there's much better out there.
lol the comments to this are absurd.
This is $7.99 for the YouTube extras plus Google Music All Access. I don't know if you guys are aware of this but All Access is like Rdio, Spotify, or Beats. It's on demand music streaming with offline playback, radio, curated playlists with songza integration, and it has one feature none of those other services do - the ability to upload your own music for free. It's like iTunes Match except for free. So actually, the YouTube key thing is just icing on the cake, and at $7.99 a month you're actually getting a lot more than you would with one of those other services.

They have already stated that All Access will be included with this YouTube Key thing. If you subscribe to one, you get the other for free.

I always buy my music on iTunes for supporting artists I love. 3-4 albums a year and even considering I'm poor I can still eat. Pirating is not right. It is convenient.
