Play Music users with gifted access to the service, which runs through September, need not worry about losing their subscription. As 9to5Google notes, the tech giant that once sold one-, three- and six-month subscriptions can give customers their friends, and it sometimes ran promos that sold these options discounts. Now Google has started sending emails to users with gifted access, telling them that it will convert the remaining value on their Play Music subscription to Play credit from September.
The company announced earlier this month that it will shut down its Play Music service in September. Australia and New Zealand will first lose access to the app, followed in October by the rest of the world. Google began preparing for the death of the service for that announcement, though even introducing a tool that allows you to transfer your Play Music data to YouTube Music in one click in May. The company that reaches out to subscribers with gifted access is probably one of the last things it needs to do before shutting down the service.
