New Delhi: Google sent an email to the users reminding them that between October and the end of this year, access to Google Play Music would be removed permanently and the users have been asked to switch to YouTube Music.

Starting in September 2020 in New Zealand and South Africa and in October for all other global markets the users will no longer be able to stream from or use the Google Play Music app.

Users will have an option to download any music that they have purchased or uploaded to Google Play Music, as well as a list of the tracks, playlists and radio stations in the library.

The company will notify the users before they lose access to their Google Play Music library & data. YouTube Music offers over 50 million official tracks, albums and high-quality audio, as well as deep cuts, B-sides, live performances, and remixes.

Users will be able to listen to their uploaded and purchased music from Google Play Music after the transfer or add up to 100,000 personal tracks to their library in YouTube Music, an increase of more than 50,000 compared to Google Play Music.

Paying members can download any song, playlist, music video or let smart downloads (Android only for now) do it for you so you always have something to listen to, even when you don't have service. Watch the video to learn how the data can be transferred from Google Play Music to Youtube Music.
