It appears that YouTube Music may roll out a new design for playlists, as they now appear as cards with more information on the home tab. This differs from the way other song groups appear on the home page, so it should make finding and listening to playlists much easier.

9to5Google reports that some users have seen a new design for the YouTube Music home tab, with playlists displayed more prominently. It's unclear how widely the new design is available, as it may still be in beta.

The newly designed app should now display a playlist card in the home feed with a playlist cover in the top left corner, the playlist owner, the song count, and three songs included in the playlist. At the bottom, there are a series of action buttons that allow you to play a song, start the radio, and add a song to your own playlist.
If this rolls out to the public, it will mark a huge step up from the standard home screen tab design, which only displays carousels of album art and artists. With this new layout, you'll be able to see which songs are in a playlist instead of just the artist , making discovery easier . In other words, it breathes life into an otherwise bland home page design.
