Transfer your Google Play Music account to YouTube Music

Google Play Music users can now easily transition their account over to YouTube Music with just just one click. In this video we'll walk you through how to make the transfer, what will transfer over, and answer some of your questions.

Google Play Music to YouTube Music transition must-knows:

1⃣ Google Play Music will be shutting down by December 2020 and starting September, members will begin to lose access to the service. If you’re locked out of the service, we won’t delete your music library just yet – you will be able to still transfer or download your data within 30 days of when you lose access or before Google Play Music shuts down in your region. Note– the transfer tool is available to 100% members globally.
2⃣ Music Store (on Google Play) and Music Manager will also begin to shut down in mid-August and you will no longer be able to purchase and pre-order music on the Play Store

How do I stop you from deleting Google Music

[CZsWorld]

Everyone: At least 2020 can't get worse right?
Google: We're getting rid of Google Play Music.

I have not been able to successfully transfer or download my music. I paid for the music. This is why other music saving mediums (cassette, cd, records) should not be phased out. I feel played!

[LukeJohnstone]

the nail in the coffin that makes me move to Spotify

[MrModikoe]

I tried giving YouTube Music a chance three times and of all of those occasions I had it on premium. It's literally a half baked experience, with Play Music you tell there is an intention of it being a true music app, I can't say the same about YouTube Music, now I just subscribed Spotify service.

[watcbd]

God, I hate the YouTube music app with every fiber of my being.

[Loopysoloist]

Is there a way to transfer everything over to Spotify? Because that's what I'll be doing if you kill GPM. Thanks in advance.

[gigii]

I hate youtube music. gonna change to spotify.

[nicholasnardone]

YouTube: You know how Google Play Music is good?
Google: Yeah
YouTube: What if we made it not that?
*YT Music is born*

[picorello]

Can we prevent non music videos to show up on my "Liked music" playlist? It is obnoxious!

[johnnytallas]

So, in order to listen to music I've already paid for, I have to subscribe/pay to a YouTube service?🤔

[Francuster]

So you discontinue and block Google play music, making it unusable even thou it was working perfectly fine, in order to force your audience into using another app nobody likes?
That's a low blow. If the new one was actually good you could just have both available and let your user decide which one was the best.
This decision really is in the company best interest and not it's consumers.

[alpha.gamma.dingdong]

Why would you advertise something that literally doesn't work?

[PaithanXOX]

This is exactly the reason that I don't want a payed member service and just want to own my music. Buying a album is much cheaper in the end than payed membership. The transfer is not working! It is clear, that in the end you are not a customer but just trash for Google. First you connect my emails to services I don"t want. Now you are stuffing us with multiple adds, while the makers of the videos are getting less and less. You are demonizing Progressives videos. Google, you don"t see, that people are looking more and more for alternatives? Spotify is better people and free!

[nathanreddent]

Yeah I uploaded all my CDs to digital trough google play and now they’re gone.

I hate YouTube music.
This sucks!

[Tortuosit]

Google, please just allow to kick out Videos completely. Also, in a music service, it is helpful to have artist/album on top of the search results. Not Videos, Playlists... and albums somewhere at the bottom.
And: In an audio app playback order is a thing. I mean, I heard Google has more than 10 devs. Make the unbelieveable possible!

[kmac]

Exactly why is Google making this switch? Goole play music works just fine.

[Nichtzzzz]

So the music I paid for is now completely lost
I transfer it to YouTube music and it worked fine but a few month later everything I paid for is not available in my downloads like I never paid for the music
So is YouTube music criminal or is it Google music
How I get my music back?

[dokunshonekan]

Firstly, songs can't be purchased on YouTube music as can be done on Google Play music. This is a deal breaker.
Secondly, the order of songs can't be changed within a playlist on Youtube music app on android though it can be done on desktop.
