YouTube Music has introduced a convenient update simplifying volume management, particularly beneficial for users who frequently adjust volume between tracks. This update allows quick access to the “Volume normalizer” setting directly from the Now Playing screen, eliminating the need to navigate through the settings menu. This enhancement aims to protect your hearing and enhance your music enjoyment.
According to Android Authority, accessing this feature is straightforward. While a song is playing, tap the three-dot menu located in the top right corner of the Now Playing screen. You’ll find a new “Consistent volume” option. Tapping this option toggles volume normalization on or off directly within the Now Playing screen, eliminating the need to delve into submenus.
Volume normalization ensures a consistent audio level across all tracks. Without it, you might experience jarring volume changes, transitioning from a quiet acoustic piece to a loud, bass-heavy track. Enabling consistent volume creates a smoother listening experience, eliminating the constant need for manual volume adjustments between songs.
Prior to this update, enabling or disabling this feature required navigating to the app’s settings menu and scrolling to the playback section—a cumbersome process, especially when listening on the go. The new placement within the Now Playing screen is more intuitive and user-friendly.
This seemingly minor quality-of-life improvement is a welcome addition for frequent YouTube Music users, particularly those using Bluetooth headphones or smart speakers where volume fluctuations are more pronounced.
The update is currently being rolled out. If you haven’t seen it yet, ensure your app is up to date. Check for updates if needed to access this new functionality. This simple change makes managing your listening experience significantly easier, allowing you to focus on enjoying your music.
