Goodbye Google Play Music

Google Play Music is one of Google's oldest services. This platform has been the default player on Android for some time, but at the same time it had a monthly subscription service to listen to streaming music. Google decided to replace this application with YouTube Music, which is available for both iOS and Android. However, it hasn't gotten rid of Play Music yet. It looks like this is the ultimate way to say goodbye to Google Play Music.

Google has announced a new tool that allows us to move our entire library from Google Play Music to YouTube Music for free The goal is to that users abandon the old Google music app once and for all, so that it can be removed from the catalog and only YouTube Music is available as an alternative to Spotify, Apple Music or Tidal.

All users will have to transfer their songs if they want to keep them. Pero, and at least for the moment, it is not necessary to say goodbye to the service. You will be able to use YouTube Music and Google Play Music for a few more months. So they can get to YouTube Music while they continue with Play Music. Google will notify users before closing the old service.

The new tool that transfers music in just 3 steps

• Download YouTube Music: The app is available for download on both iOS and Android.
• Select music transfer in the app: YouTube Music will recognize the account and transfer all music files, albums, songs, lists and more to the new app.
• Sync: Google will notify you when the entire library has been transferred. YouTube Music will sync your likes and recommend similar songs for you. Of course, you can listen to the ones you had in the Google Play Music library.

You can also transfer your Podcasts from Play Music to Google Podcast. In this case, you must do it from this web page. The Google podcast app is free, and is also available for iOS and Android.

YouTube Music works under subscription, with a price of 10 euros per month. SIf we choose to purchase YouTube Premium, we also get YouTube Music. All for 12 euros per month.
