How to transfer Google Play Music content to YouTube Music
Google claims it will only take one press of a button on the YouTube Music app to transfer Google Play Music content over to the app.
- If you have not already done so, go ahead and download the YouTube Music app from the Google Play Store.
- Open the YouTube Music app on your Android device. You should see a “Transfer your Play Music library” option. Press the “Let’s Go” button to continue.”
- You should then see the “Transfer your latest Google Play Music additions” selection, along with “Not Now” and “Transfer” option buttons on the bottom. Press the “Transfer” button to start the process.
That should be all you should have to do to transfer your Google Play Music songs, albums, and most other content to the YouTube Music app. If you don’t have the transfer tool yet, don’t worry — Google is rolling it out to users starting today, May 12.
Google has yet to announced specifically when Google Play Music will officially shut down. Since the company is finally allowing transfers of user content to YouTube Music, it likely won’t be very long before the older music service shuts down. We will update this article when that information is finally revealed.
In the meantime, are you sad that Google Play Music is ending in the near future? Are you excited at the prospect of using YouTube Music as its replacement?
