Following months of speculation, YouTube has today taken the wraps off its brand new YouTube Red membership package, which will cost $9.99 per month when it launches on Wednesday, October 28.

For those unaware, the service provides subscribers with an ad-free viewing experience, along with the ability to save clips for offline playback and background play audio on smartphones and tablets.

What about the Play Music subscriptions? Are they covered like the YouTube Key was supposed to do?
