RIP Google Play Music: How to Transfer Your Music From Google Play to YouTube

[FreedMind]

The "identify what's playing" feature will also be sorely missed.

It still works, but it's on its way out, for good this time.

Late August—Users will no longer be able to upload or download music through Music Manager. Pre-orders and purchases will be shut down.

September—Streaming shuts down for users in New Zealand and South Africa.

October—Global streaming shutdown. The Google Music app and website will cease to be.

December—Music collections get deleted.

I don't get why Google getting rid of the option to purchase albums. Despite having of subscription, I would also purchase my favorite songs/albums to support the artist.

The only update I wanted was more support for more devices such as iDrive for my beamer and Normalize Volume option that Spotify has.

I'm paying $10 a month, hoping that maybe YT music will continue to improve it's interface... I'm going to give it a try, but yeah, might have to take my business else where.

What I miss the most is the recently played albums/playlists all being on one page, making it easy to navigate/scroll through.

by the time any improvements are made, google gonna bush YTM

Google must have robots in those design meetings.

Nobody wants this. They should just continue to improve GP if they want in on the streaming services.

By the time the YTM app gets manageable, people are going to have been moved on

The more I use it the more I don't like it. When I go to shuffle a playlist it shuffles and plays the same ten songs.

The "identify what's playing" feature will also be sorely missed.

Bro, I was just telling my wife this shyt. fukk this app, breh. Really might move on to another app. Anyone had any luck moving playlists between streaming platforms?

 

[Sonic Boom of the South]

Google sent me a email asking me why I haven't transitioned to YTM yet
And included a long ass survey

 

[newarkhiphop]

My only complaint is they need to add podcasts to it like gpm.

there not going to do that, there pushing the Google podcast app

 

[newarkhiphop]

we gotta pay for "background play"



moving everything to my drives then fukk it

link? please tell me you playing, no background play for our own music?

 

[OfTheCross]

Man when

So with this new YouTube music shyt I have to pay extra for background play?

Yea I think I might move my music off that shyt

How easy is to move it off Google music?

Smh and I have a family plan

Yeah. that shyt is outrageous.

Luckily, you don't have that issue if you listen to music that you've uploaded yourself

 

[Stir Fry]

I hate the YouTube app. First time trying YTM today and when I started driving the app was playing the video version of the song in landscape mode and just like always, it took me a solid minute or so of fiddling with it to exit out of the video view. This shyt sucks Katie gotbandz ass hairs.


Edit: didn't realize there was a whole separate app that I had already downloaded for it

Google stay fukking shyt up.... I'm kind of close to switching to iPhone... Already got a Mac about to cop a iPad soon

 

[OfTheCross]

Bruh... The search function is TERRIBLE.

 

[head shots101]

Bruh... The search function is TERRIBLE.

Smh... I'm praying they cancel this shyt....I got so much music uploaded

 

[OfTheCross]

Are there any alternative sites to transfer my GPM library to?

The transfer to YTM was smooth, but it sucks so much that I'd like a backup

 

[chiefdogg]

Bruh... The search function is TERRIBLE.

On the Phone and I can't even find it on the music app on the youtube app on the TV.
