YouTube postpones launch of music service to second quarter

YouTube has reportedly delayed the launch of its music service until later this year.

The Google unit has been working on its music service for some time, but wanted to launch a product that is different from competitors in the space and ready for mass consumption, Mashable reported.

YouTube has reportedly postponed the launch back to the second quarter or beyond.

Meanwhile, Billboard previously reported that the introduction would come in late 2013, the report added.
