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

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-08-16 03:21:15

TL;DR 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 t

The glasses may include a camera, speakers, and a microphone, but no display. Set for a late 2026 debut, these smart glasses are separate from Samsung’s XR headset plans. Smart glasses remain a particularly niche genre of wearable technology, even in mid-2025, but they are steadily growing in popularity.
