Developers from Google announced the launch of a new tool that will allow you to transfer music libraries from Google Play Music to YouTube Music in just a few clicks. Thanks to this, the company expects to speed up the process of migrating users from one service to another.
When Google announced its intention to replace Google Play Music with YouTube Music, users were unhappy because they couldn't transfer their music libraries from one service to another. For this reason, many people continue to use Play Music and are in no hurry to switch to using the new service. Now, Google has begun rolling out an update that will give users a handy tool to easily move their music library and playlists.
βStarting today, we are excited to officially offer Google Play Music listeners the effortless transfer of their music libraries and playlists to YouTube Music, the new home for listening and discovering music. For now, users will have access to two services. We want everyone to have time to transfer their content and get used to the YouTube Music service, βGoogle said in a message.
At the same time, the developers emphasized that Google Play Music will stop working this year, so users should gradually get used to interacting with the new service. An exact date for the shutdown of the old music service has not been announced, but it is said that this will happen later this year.
To use the new tool, just open the YouTube Music app and find the "Transfer your Play Music library" banner. After that, it remains to click the "Start" button and wait for the data transfer process to complete.
