Google wants you to move from Play Music to YouTube Music. By that, they mean moving all your Play Music library to YouTube Music. It isn’t just about Google — YouTube wants to grow its Music user with the help of Play Music and that sounds like a nice move.
Here we know —the transfer process, but you’re not doing anything just activate chill and start watching a movie while your Play library transfer to YouTube Music.
YouTube in a blog post says “Play Music users will continue to have access to both services.” Adding that they “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.”
