Google promised last month that it will bring new features and improvements to YouTube Music more often, and today's update is one of the updates that fulfills that promise. The new streaming and download quality controls added in the latest update were announced back in August, so they're not really a surprise.
To make use of the new streaming controls, simply head to Settings and tap “Audio quality on mobile network” or “Audio quality on Wi-Fi.” Each of these new settings have four options: Low, Normal, High, and Always High.
There are also some new download quality controls available in the Downloads menu. You'll see a new “Audio quality” option that offers further adjustments like Low, Normal, and High. In addition, a “Video quality” should enable users to set the streaming service to only store audio.
The official changelog in the Google Play Store hasn't been updated to reflect the new changes, but they're probably rolled out in waves, so make sure you have the latest version of YouTube Music.
Mint Mobile is now allowing you to get whichever plan you like for either three, six, or 12 months for just $15/mo. If you go for the six-month unlimited service, for instance, you'll now have to pay just $90 upfront instead of $210.
