Google Play Music App Shutdown Starts In September What You Need To Know

Google Play Music, which was launched in 2011 to allow users to stream, buy songs to download, and store their music collections in the cloud, is completely giving way to the YouTube Music app. The staggered process of shutting down will be completed by December. On YouTube Music, users can not only stream music, but also access music videos and live performances that are only found on YouTube.

The change is Google’s way of streamlining its product bouquet as Google Play Music and YouTube Music share a lot of features, with the development also reflecting the evolution of the music distribution model. Google Play Music was an effort to digitize physical media and channel listeners towards streaming. However, there is a section of music enthusiasts who take pride in owning audio files and with YouTube Music, the option to buy won’t be available.

The streamlining process started in May when Google launched a migration tool to transfer music libraries to YouTube Music. Starting late August, users will not be able to purchase, pre-order, upload or download music through Music Manager. Instead, Google’s transfer tool will help users shift whatever they have bought from or uploaded to Google Play Music to YouTube Music, including playlists. From September in New Zealand and South Africa – globally starting October – users won’t be able to use the Play Music app at all, although Google will retain purchases and other data until December 2020.

Migrating From Google Play Music To YouTube Music

Moving content from Google Play Music to YouTube Music is easy. For those who have phones that come with Android 10, the YouTube Music app is already there. For others, download the app for Android or iOS and then click on the transfer button under settings. The process will take care of your playlists, likes and dislikes, as well as your preferences. In case you want to transfer the content from your desktop, visit music.youtube.com/transfer and click transfer. It may take some time for the transfer to complete, depending on the size of the Play Music library, but once done, the user will be notified.

YouTube Music has some good offerings to make sure that users stay with the service and the length of playlists has been increased from 1,000 to 5,000 songs. In addition, users can also add up to 100,000 personal tracks to their library (compared to the 50,000 on Google Play Music), and paying members can download any song or music video. What YouTube Music offers is a good level of integration with Google and YouTube profiles, which looks to ensure better recommendations overall. Whether it’s Google’s YouTube Music, Apple Music, Amazon Music, or Spotify, all are looking to increase their subscriber share as the switch to streaming continues to gain momentum.
