Google Play Music will end within this year

YouTube announced on May 12 that Google Play Music, which announced the transition to YouTube Music, will end within this year. Accordingly, it also introduced a function that can upload music playlists that have been posted on Google Play or purchased to YouTube Music.

YouTube Music has supported web version music upload since 2W, but it is enough to upload individual music and supported import from Google Play Music. People who uploaded or purchased mass music from Google Play Music suffered inconvenience, but it is expected that the conversion to YouTube music will proceed as it becomes possible to import it directly. The transmission function is supported sequentially, and when available, an e-mail notifying the procedure is sent. The procedure is not difficult. Just press the Submit button on the YouTube Music application or website.

Since the transmission is performed in stages, it may take a few days if there are many songs uploaded, but it is said that it usually takes about an hour. When it’s done, it sends a notification via email and app. Google Play Music’s specific termination schedule has not been announced, but even if you use the transmission function, you can access two services until the end of Google Play Music.

YouTube Music was initially functionally weaker than Google Play Music, but with repeated updates afterwards, the difference in functionality has almost disappeared. This song transfer can be said to be preparation for the final migration. Apart from migrating to YouTube Music, if you are still using Google Play Music, you may want to start reviewing the apps you use now. Related information can be found here .
