YouTube Music for Wear OS just received a new update and it's a bit of a mixed bag. It does fix a long-standing issue when browsing tracks in albums, but it also introduces an interesting solution to playing order, to put it mildly.

Earlier this month, Google pulled a fast one on us pretending it had scheduled a fifth Android 14 beta release all along, when last month it had heavily implied the fourth beta would be the last before the stable release. So we got Android 14 Beta 5. Today, it's Android 14 Beta 5.1 releasing, and as the mild increment implies, this one is all about fixing bugs. Hopefully the last... Read more ›
