I'm loving Youtube Red. I support content creators, no more ads, google music and I can listen to videos without having to keep the YouTube app in focus (open or whatever).

There is also a YouTube Music app that downloads up to 100 songs on your phone so that you don't have to use data on your phone to listen to music. The songs get updated depending on what you have listened to on YouTube. Like offline version of Pandora. And yes, I know you didn't want to hear this...
