MTuber for iOS: streaming music directly from YouTube
Makradar Technologies / / December 19, 2019
YouTube - the most popular video hosting around the web. Number of uploaded video has passed for all conceivable limits and continues to grow every second. Trailers, reviews, stream, clips - there is everything that is somehow related to the video content. And I must say, the music on YouTube takes a large amount among various video. And not just clips, but also ordinary audio tracks, video in which is replaced by a cover artist / album. Not surprisingly, in the store of Apple applications have started to appear and a special player.
mTuber - iOS app, which is intended to serve as a video player you do not, and audio, as strange as it may sound. But let's order about the possibilities and the question of why do we need such software.
Making mTuber done in the manner of a standard Music app in iOS 7 - the entire interface consists of two basic colors: white and red. Items between the management also made in the lower part of the interface and categorized with search, topom compositions history viewed (listened?) video, bookmarks and private playlists.
Initially, when I saw mTuber, it seemed to me that this is another regular replacement for the standard YouTube client for iOS, but after reading the description, I was interested in even more. The app does not position itself as a means to view the video. Well, interesting. And I thought it was kind of player that does not load the video, and leaves only the sound of it. But I was wrong.
mTuber just uses search YouTube, just as it is in a video and just lose it to you. The main difference, however, is that when locking the smartphone application continues to run, Accordingly, the sound will not disappear, and the screen is locked, the standard controls playback.
An interesting feature is the organization of the TOP 100 list. You choose the country and the application shows that popular in a particular place in our world. While separation is not only at the "trend" hits, but also genres. I wanted to hear something from the Blues - choose the country and see what's popular. How it works correctly - hard to say, since by Russian and looking at the most popular genre "Pop", I do not see any Stas Mikhailov, none other Russian-speaking artists. Or something is not working properly, or in Russia to listen to foreign music more than their own.
All lists can be sorted by conventional methods: by popularity, number of views or date added, which may facilitate the search for something new. Any track (video?), You can add bookmarks, and compose a single track-list of favorite songs.
Forms to enter your Google app has no account, so "pick up" a previously uploaded video bookmark does not work, as well as leave a comment with your "Like".
When viewed as a whole - the application is organized well enough. Works fast, allows you to change the video quality (that are lacking in the standard YouTube-client) and looks nice. But now the idea of listening music when, in the first place intended for videoI was somewhat confused and enters into a stupor. However, with mTuber I have learned that it appears on YouTube open spaces there are many different collections on very different musical tastes.
I think I will use it only to view the video at 3G bad connection, but listening to a pair of video podcasts, video series on which it is not necessary to look. For streaming music leave SoundCloud and iTunes Radio - all the music you need to look not at the YouTube channel.
