But a hidden gem of a feature on YouTube is the ability to play entire albums without the use of extensions or plugins.
It is important to note that this feature is not available for any artist or album. To find out if your favorite artists or albums are available on YouTube for free listening, just search for an artist's name on the site.
If you search for Radiohead, for example, you'll see a menu on the right side of the screen with two tabs. The first features Radiohead's title track, while the second is a list of their full albums that you can play directly on YouTube.
The list of artists with this option is quite varied. We searched for some random artists and found albums for artists with current work like Beyonce, Rihanna, Mumford and Sons, Milky Chance, and Ariane Grande. You'll also find albums from the '50s, '60s, '70s, and '80s, including Louis Armstrong, The Bee Gees, The Beatles, and The Carpenters.
Some artists with a very limited selection of albums include Macklemore, and some had no album at all, like Elvis Presley. So all you have to do is search for your favorite artists or bands and see what offers are available on YouTube.
