A new Listening Room on Discord has been announced by YouTube Music developers to allow users to provide feedback on early access features. Anyone can apply, but they’ll need to fill out a questionnaire about their musical taste and subscription. Music lovers must be passionate about it, provide regular feedback through conversations and polls, and use YouTube Music as the primary audio streaming service for one year to qualify.
As part of the program, you will get early access to new features, and you will have a chance to influence YouTube Music’s future if accepted. YouTube Music will contact accepted applicants in February, and applicants are asked not to share any information, or to take screenshots, pictures, or record anything from Listening Room.
In addition to listing favourite artists and genres, there are seven possible user types that you’re asked to select from:
- Music is a huge part of my identity, and my friends know it. I’m always listening to new music, and I stay up-to-date with big music trends.
- I like discovering new music, but it’s not a huge part of my life. I often listen to music while socializing, gaming, or eating.
- I like staying in the know and being part of a music community, although I don’t have super strong opinions about music. I don’t want to miss out on the latest music trends.
- I like to listen to the same music over and over.
- I use music to change the mood and make moments more enjoyable. I usually rely on music services to stream music for me.
- I like to listen to nostalgic music, and I usually listen to music in the background while doing chores, travelling, commuting, or working out.
- Music defines and inspires me. I am highly opinionated about music, and I don’t care as much about music that is considered popular.
