Hello, welcome to Modzmultiverse, today we are going to tell you the best method to play YouTube Music in android in background on any using Termux.
Need of this system.
Why to use this method over YouTube, YouTube-Vanced, or any other music streaming app1. Because official YouTube doesn't support background play.
2. YouTube-Vanced supports background play but loads video, so it takes much more data and in some mobiles it shows error during installation.
3. Music streaming apps are just an advertising billboard, and sometimes we can't find our favorite Remix, Mashup, slow and reverb version of your favorite song, or Medley on music streaming apps due to copyright issues. And there are lots of small YouTubers who make a lot of slow and reverb but cant distribute music to streaming platforms because of distribution charges. Therefore, YouTube is the best source for different styles of music.
4.you can use it to flex your skills in front of friends.
5.if you are a tech-savvy Linux user or CLI obsessed, then definitely you will love the CLI music player.
