YOUTUBE MUSIC TO REPLACE GOOGLE PLAY MUSIC; THE LATTER TO SHUT DOWN BY YEAR END
Google Play Music listeners can now transfer their music libraries, playlist and personal taste preferences to YouTube Music in just a few steps.
According to a YouTube blog post, users will continue to have access to both Google Play Music and YouTube Music.
"We want to ensure everyone has time to transfer their content and get used to YouTube Music, so we’ll provide plenty of notice ahead of users no longer having access to Google Play Music later this year," YouTube said.
As per a report by The Verge, by the end of this year, YouTube Music will be the only streaming option by Google following the complete shutdown of Google Play Music.
This step is one of the biggest moves by Google towards permanently phasing out Google Play Music in favour of its newer YouTube Music service.
Google has, however, not yet specified when exactly it will happen.
Google, in a video, said that the change from Google Play Music to YouTube Music can be "hard".
“We know it will take time to get used to, and we’re here for you,” Google said in the video.
