This is not cool youtube

If youtube allowed this, they wouldn't make money off the ads so thats why its not a thing

Don't use the app , go on google and search Youtube , with this you can listen music and lock your iPhone
Your welcome !

or you could just play youtube through safari... thats how i do it :/

Guys! Use Listenonrepeat! It automatically repeats and plays songs when you're using another app or when your phone is locked!

This isn't a problem with a Blackberry. Everything can happen in the background, it was pretty handy when they came out with the new OS a few months ago.

Here's what you do:
Go on Youtube (on your iphone/ipod mobile device). Choose the select song and let the video load. Close your mobile device. At this point the song/video will stop (wait until it does). Press home button as if to just see the time (still on lock mode). Double press home button. Press play.

I am happy cause YouTube does work when my screen is locked. :P

For the iPhone you can lock it and then press play again on the home screen

Spotify. Nuff said.

YouTube Music Key

or why cldnt youtube have the songs keep playing when i exit out of the app...
