YouTube Music just got a new podcast superpower that’s been a long time coming

• Google Podcasts used to offer the ability to remove gaps of silence from podcasts.


• When Podcasts was retired, YouTube Music did not offer a similar tool.


• Work on a “trim silence” option for YouTube Music was spotted last year, and the feature is finally available now.

Progress is supposed to mean improvement, right? While we’re no strangers to seeing Google transform one app into another, merging features in the process, it’s extremely frustrating when we lose some functionality along the way. Something along those lines happened when we lost Google Podcasts and users were pushed over to YouTube Music, but we’re happy to say the situation has finally righted itself.

We’re talking specifically about the ability to for podcast apps to automatically remove any lengthy periods of silence. Ideally, producers would edit those out prior to publishing their podcasts, but we have to live with the reality we have, and it ended up being a useful option to have. Google Podcasts picked up that tool all the way back in 2018, but we haven’t had a similar ability for YouTube Music.
