See YouTube for Android in the "Picture in Picture" and use it as a background music player, you can use simple and free applications.
One of the coolest innovations of recent times on the YouTube mobile can be called multitasking. At some point, iOS and YouTube Android-client enabled users to simply swipe to compress the video player window in pryamougolnichek compact in the lower right corner, and then continue to navigate while playing back a previously opened video. This is a great feature, but it still has one big disadvantage - on Android this operation is possible only within the application. Should we try to move, for example, by mail or messenger, as well as minimize the application in the background, and YouTube immediately pauses playback.
In iOS 7 problem is partially solved by running through YouTube Safari.
Thus, we can continue to navigate through applications with associated background audio playback from video YouTube, provided after minimizing the browser is forced to continue playing through the center management.
Android out of the box do not know how, but the problem can be solved. We consider 2 options, allowing to work in the background like YouTube as a music player, and in the sight of the most compact video player window, with the window is on the screen regardless of the order in which you are now application.
Option №1 - YouTube as a background music player

In fact, this is a music player based on YouTube. There is support for playlists, as well as creating your own queue of favorite tracks, however, such information is stored locally in the app, as uListen not tied to the YouTube-account user.
As a very tasty bonus we get a strong savings in mobile traffic and very high growth rate injection test tracks.
Unconditional minus uListen is inconvenient search, which requires a full and correct name of the video. This problem is solved more advanced analogue called FREEdi YouTube Player.
It supports auto-complete YouTube and he tells probable video titles and playlists based on user-entered data.
Variant №2 - YouTube over any application
This method will be a boon for those who do not want to break away from watching the video during chats, view unimportant mail and other tasks that do not require concentration and full attention. Simply put, you will be able to move freely between different applications and a compact window with the video will remain on the screen.
In this case, the application will help SuperTube Popup YouTube Player and Viral Floating Youtube Popup, the design is very similar to the native YouTube mobile client, but at the same time implementing the above feature.
Both clients are virtually identical in terms of functionality and allow you to enter into service under his own YouTube-account with access to your favorite videos and saved playlists. For even greater usability, clients support vertical swipe window inside the video player to change the volume.
