The slow and inevitable death of Google Play Music has come a step closer to the search giant that announces that it will start trying to convince Play Music users to transfer their music libraries and playlists to YouTube Music.
“All Google Play Music users will soon receive an email with detailed instructions on how to start transferring their entire history and content from Google Play Music, as well as podcasts, to their new homes,” Google said in a blog post.
Users will see the transfer button appear in the YouTube Music app and will include uploaded songs, purchases, personal and subscribed playlists, likes and dislikes, selected stations, and personal taste preferences.

Google added that the price was the same for the pair of services, with the exception of Google Play Music Unlimited users, who could obtain an equivalent level but not necessarily at the same price.
Google Play Music is slated to die “later this year,” and was marked in July 2017.
In September, Google began replacing the preloaded Play Music app with YouTube Music on new Android devices.
