Users will have the ability to filter and sort their saved tracks after they’re downloaded to the library. However, it is crucial to note that offline downloads on the web app have a 10-device download limit. Like the smartphone app, YouTube Music for your desktop, too, will require you to redownload or renew your tracks after 30 days.

Who can download YouTube Music tracks?

Only users with a Premium subscription will be able to download music via their YouTube Music desktop app. While this feature is available for podcasts as well, it remains unclear if regular users can download podcasts without a subscription. If you haven’t received this feature yet, don’t worry, you might soon be eligible for an update. You might also want to keep a lookout for a message near your library that reads “New! Download music to listen offline”. Happy streaming!
