I have posted once before, but if you use YouTube Music among music streaming service users and want to install the PC version app like Melon, you need to install it with an app supported by the Chrome browser. As another method, you can install the PC version of YouTube Music that provides a mini player, remote control, and various options, so I will introduce it in this post.
It’s not an official app, but it’s pretty well made and seems to be used by a lot of people. In addition, it is available not only for Windows, but also for Linux and MacBook, so it can be used on all platforms. 유튜브 PC버전
The app I want to introduce in this post is Youtube Music Desktop (YTMD). Clicking on the link will take you to the following web page. You can download the program here and install it.

The program installation proceeds immediately without asking for anything. As you can see from the download page, you can download it as dmg for MacBook or appimage for Linux.
If you run it, the YouTube Premium login page will open as shown below. But here is the order when you log in. If you just log in, you will not be able to log in due to Google policy.

I think the best thing is that the mini player is supported. The mini player is supported in the form below. It doesn’t seem like the size can be adjusted yet, and the size doesn’t seem to fit with the album cover image.

In the case of K-pop, there are many cases where the lyrics do not come out, but you can use Lyrics to check the lyrics of the song you are currently listening to. I think this is also a good feature.

And if you mouse over the icon on the taskbar, you can use it by pressing the Next Song, Previous Song, Pause, Recommend, and Shine buttons. And the system tray icon also provides a play button by default.

You can change the necessary settings in Settings. If you set the language to Korean in the settings, you can view it in Korean.

Although the login method is a bit tricky, it seems to be good to use because it provides various functions than the app using the default web browser. If you have a Google account and use YouTube Music a lot, how about installing it on your PC and using it?
As mentioned above, in this post, although it is an unofficial version, I have looked at how to install YouTube Music PC version and how to log in. I will end this post in the hope that it will be helpful to those who are looking for related information. Thanks for reading this far.
