FAQ
Fair questions.
Can I use Nest Music without a YouTube Music subscription?
Yes. Browsing, search and playback work without one; a few features require an active subscription. Free users can still browse and search everything.
Is this legal?
Yes. Nest Music is a third-party client that connects to YouTube Music's official API — similar to how web browsers connect to it.
What's the difference between FOSS and GMS builds?
FOSS contains no Google libraries and supports music recognition via Shazam; GMS includes Google Play Services for enhanced features like Cast.
Do I need to log in?
Only if you want your library and playlists: a Google account syncs your likes, playlists and subscriptions.
Can I download songs for offline playback?
Yes — songs, albums and playlists can be cached or downloaded for offline use, space permitting.
What if YouTube Music is blocked in my country?
Nest Music needs YouTube Music to be reachable: a VPN or proxy to a supported region makes everything work normally.
