Hope this helps if your not too sure what i mean let me know and ill try to explain better.

Best advice, cheers

1. Start video then change window! (safari)

Note: you have to change window before the song start playing,right after you click on it ! So after the load it will start automatically becauce after the load it always attempt to play it and it does.

Problem solved.

Question for YouTube music listeners: Do you go and launch a new YouTube video each time it ends, or is there some way to queue up a bunch to play in a row? Or are you guys listening to really long YouTube videos?

I'm probably missing something, because it seems like a pain to keep going back to YouTube to launch something new while surfing, etc.

I don't think there's a way to play a playlist in the background, Kay. Unfortunately, it also appears that using the new YouTube app means no more background YouTube listening. Now, you have to run the website version in a tab on Safari.

Thanks, Kevin. I'm staying on iOS 5.1.1 on iPad and iPhone, so I should still be able to listen on YouTube and surf at the same time. I just don't know how without having to launch a new YouTube video every time one ends. (I've not currently using YouTube for music, but there might be something good I'm missing, because so many people ask about it. So I want to learn.)

I've updated only my touch 4 to iOS 6, because I prefer iOS 5.1.1 for Google maps on iPad and iPhone.

Yes. I'm still on 5.1.1 for now. I downloaded the new YouTube app to check it out more than anything. Background play still works on the embedded app, of course, but I haven't found any way to play a playlist.

I noticed a while ago that YouTube now allows videos of seemingly unlimited length to be uploaded, so over time we might see whole concert videos being uploaded, in spite of YouTube's own rules against this. I watched a 2 hour long movie on there a few weeks ago (thanks Admiral).

That's what I was wondering: Are people listening to long videos, or having to launch new videos over and over, or is there an alternative that I'm missing? I wonder what the draw is for listening to YouTube music over other methods. There must be something good, because why are people wanting to do it, I wonder. And if there's something good, I want to check it out.

Hey guys,

I've not been able to play YouTube in the background since iOS 6.1

Google's YouTube app hasn't allowed it under iOS 6:

Thanks for the link. I am looking forward to reading it.
I was able to use a workaround for you tube via Safari on 6.0 but now with 6.1 the workaround is no longer working.
