According to some recent reports, Google is said to be planning to give users of YouTube Music the ability to create custom stations that will be available to them. It will be possible to create custom radio stations that will be based on the tunes of specific artists. In order to choose what songs to play, the algorithm will decide what they should be. The upcoming Youtube Music feature is called the “Radio Builder.” It started rolling out on Tuesday. All users will be able to access it by scrolling to the “Your music tuner” section of the YouTube Music homepage in the iOS or Android app.
This Youtube Music Feature will Allow You To Make Your Own Custom Rado Stations
The point worth mentioning here is that in the process of building your custom station, users can select up to 30 artists and choose whether they want to only hear music from them or if they want it to pull in songs from similar musicians.

Youtube music users can also tell it to play songs that they’re familiar with, new songs, or a mix of the two and add filters. It even lets you tune the mix. For instance, users can make a station that plays upbeat new releases from Eden, Khalid, and Pup or one that serves up their favorite mellow deep-cuts from Boygenius and its members’ solo catalogs. According to Google spokesperson Paul Pennington:
You can use the feature, which will be available anywhere you can get YouTube Music, whether you’re a paying subscriber or a free user
Reports claim that YouTube started testing this feature last year. The good part of the news is that it’s nice to see that this feature will be sticking around. No doubt, YouTube Music already had plenty of algorithmically driven stations and mixes. Everyone likes to listen to something specific but doesn’t feel like manually setting up a playlist. So, having such control seems a good option indeed. If the feature has not been rolled out to you yet, don’t worry! It will soon make its way to your Youtube Music App as well.
