Google Play Music has been given the death sentence by Google, and today the company has announced a bit more detail about how its execution will be carried out. The main message from today's blog post is 'back up your music now,' as Google says it will wipe out all Google Music collections in December 2020.
We've known for a while that the shutdown would be sometime in 2020, but for most regions, Google has now narrowed it down to 'October.' Here's the full timeline:
- Late August—Users will no longer be able to upload or download music through Music Manager. Pre-orders and purchases will be shut down.
- September—Streaming shuts down for users in New Zealand and South Africa.
- October—Global streaming shutdown. The Google Music app and website will cease to be.
- December—Music collections get deleted.
At the time of the streaming shutdown, the app will have been showing shutdown messages for about five months. If a user has somehow missed all of those, two months with no streaming at all will hopefully be enough to get them to research what happened to Google Music.
Saving your music collection from deletion is not difficult; just go to music.youtube.com/transfer and click a few buttons to start the YouTube Music transfer process. The process is actually painless, and your Google Music account will continue to work even after the transfer. If you decide you don't want to use YouTube Music, you'll still have access to a ton of download options later, without the looming threat of the Google Music deletion.A copy of your files isn't hard to get, either. The Google Music Manager is a Windows and Mac application that can upload music or download your entire music collection with a few clicks, but like Google said, it will stop working soon. The other option is Google Takeout, which will wrap your entire music collection in a zip file and send you a download link. The processing for this can take hours. Whichever option you choose, make sure you do something before December because, after that, there will be no way to recover your music.

View more storiesGoogle Play Music has been around since 2011 and let users upload thousands of songs to the Internet, for free, for streaming playback on most other devices. It's been the primary way to play music on the Google Home smart speakers, and it offered music purchases, monthly streaming radio, and podcasts. Google Music has been neglected for years, though, and like the company often does, Google decided to make a second, competing music streaming service instead of maintaining the first service. That second service is YouTube Music, which is now Google's favored music app. The merger between the two was originally announced in 2018, and now it's finally happening.YouTube Music places an emphasis on music videos, as you can guess from the name, and the app has a more modern design. YouTube Music awkwardly blends together your entire 15-year YouTube activity history with your music collection, tossing any 'liked' videos and subscriptions that have been algorithmically been flagged as 'music' into your collection, and mixing together your YouTube playlists and Google Music playlists. There is no way to stop this.
YouTube Music seems designed to drive up Google's subscription numbers and really only seems useful for people who want to pay the monthly streaming license fee. The app does away with music purchases and won't even let you stream your own music to your Google Home speakers without paying the monthly fee. It's a big downgrade from Google Music, which offered more functionality to people who purchased music. In 2018, Google told Google Music users 'nothing will change' regarding YouTube Music's uploaded music functionality, but now that the feature is actually here, that's... not true.

Having a gazillion music files is a wonderful thing. But not when you feel like a helpless mouse on a labyrinth of unorganized, cluttered, music files.

Google Play Music Manager is the desktop app that allows you to house all your music. It has a potential of carrying 20, 000 songs. How’s that for a start? It functions as a standalone music file organizer for your pc, but can also be synced on your Android devices. Music manager is like the motherland of all your different music genres, and your android devices can freely feed off of her majestic wonders.
Google Music Manager: The Works
Luckily, it is easy to download Google Music Manager. You can follow the instructions for downloading and setting up the app on your desktop. Note that you have to have a Google account to be able to use this app. Once it starts running, you can now sync your mumble jumble of music collection into one place. Music Manager will ask you where your files at, and you just click the different locations where you keep them. Once you’re done choosing, Google Music Manager will start to upload the files into its online cloud storage. When it’s done, then you can go pat yourself at the back for getting all your music into one place and for seamlessly backing up your files at the same time.

Doing this might require you to bring out your patience basket, but once you’re done, it will be rewarding, I tell you. So let’s start of by making sure that you have a Dropbox app on your android device and on your desktop. Also, download a file manager such as the Astro File Manager with Cloud on your android device. If you’ve already taken care of that, create a folder inside the Dropbox sync folder on your PC. That folder will now be dedicated to the uploads that will come from your android device. Go back to Music Manager, choose this folder and click ‘Automatically upload songs added to my selected folders.’
Now, you are halfway from uploading music from your phone to pc. Just copy the music files to the sync folder which is the Dropbox to the root of your android device’s file system. Put them in the folder, and sync. Now, the music on your device will be transferred to your pc.

Then you have the choice whether you want to automatically add songs from your selected folders or not. And you’re done! The Music Manager will start adding your music to Google Play and you can now listen from your devices.
