Google Play Music

Google has started shutting down its Play Music service for users around the world. The service is expected to be completely shut down by the end of the year.

Google promised that Play Music would remain alive until YouTube Music was ready for prime-time. Two years on, its time to say goodbye to Google's older streaming service.

Google has started warning users that it could take a while for their Play Music library to be transferred to YouTube Music. The delay, according to the company, has been caused by 'high demand.'

Google recently rolled out a transfer tool to bring your Play Music library over to YouTube Music. Are you ready to make the switch?

YouTube Music will soon allow users to upload their music library, a feature that originated with Google Music. Google Play Music users will be transitioned to YouTube Music in the coming months.

Google is being sued for failing to properly protect artist copyright on its music platforms by Pro Music Rights LLC, rights holders for artists ranging from Soulja Boy to Fall Out Boy.

Last week, Google announced YouTube Music would be the pre-installed music app going forward. As a longtime Google Play Music user, this news actually made me cheer. Here's why.
