• Once you click on the “Music” option, you will see a list of available music services you can connect to your Google account. These services can include popular platforms like Spotify, Pandora, and, of course, YouTube Music. 
• The Music settings ensure you can quickly switch between different music providers as your preferences change. Having quick access to this setting means you can effortlessly toggle between various music apps without diving deep into multiple menus.
