Why Music Patching Differs
YouTube Music patching is simpler than video patching because the patch list is shorter. Listening has fewer interface elements to hide and fewer playback modes to tune, so the choices that matter are ad free playback, background playback, audio only mode and theme. A shorter list means fewer decisions and fewer ways for a patch run to surprise you. This page is part of the Morphe for Android patching collection.
The payoff is also more daily. A patched music app changes every commute, every workout and every work session, while a patched video app changes only the sessions you sit down to watch. For listeners, music is the patch set that earns its keep fastest.
Patching Music
Match the target app file to a version the patch bundle supports, then pick YouTube Music inside the patcher and select the file. Simple mode covers the listening essentials with curated defaults. Expert mode adds the finer controls, including Android Auto behaviour and theme colours, for patchers who want them.
Run the patch, install the patched copy alongside the original music app, and sign in through MicroG RE if the patched app asks. Then play one song with the screen off. If it keeps playing, background playback works, and the patched copy is ready for daily listening.

Listening Tips
Turn on audio only mode if you listen more than you watch, because it saves data and battery on every track. Keep the theme dark or pure black for night listening, and check Android Auto once if you drive with the phone connected, since car playback is where a missed patch shows up first.
If a song stops when the screen goes off, background playback did not apply. Reopen the patcher, check that the background playback patch is switched on for the music app, and patch again. A patch that is off cannot fix playback, no matter how many times the app is restarted.

Conclusion
Patch music the same way as video, but expect a shorter list and a faster result. One song with the screen off proves the patch set, and audio only mode is the single patch that saves the most data over a week of listening.
