Pros & Cons:

Pros

• Genius idea for free streaming music service
• Stream high quality audio of videos from YouTube
• Plays in the background even while screen is sleep
• Stops upon call and resumes

Cons

• Manually create and manage playlists
• No artist or song information
• No icon in notification window shade, however Longpress the Home button to get back to the app quickly
• After call app tends not to return to the last song… starts over in playlist

Features:

UMusic Android App allows you to listen to the audio streams only from YouTube videos, in essence creating free music player using the vast number of videos on you to. Search for your favorite artist or song title and UMusic finds it the correct song in high quality if available. The app automatically creates playlists or shuffle playlists at random. Of course you can play, pause, repeat or jumped forward to the next song. Build your own a Pandora Radio, Slacker Radio, or Last.fm Personal Radio player (no worries about skips or subscriptions)! However you do not get the luxury of these players to play similar artists or genres automatically, you must search all the artists or albums then the app takes care of the rest.
