It is known that the Google Play Music is in its final phase before it retires from the music streaming services space later this year. There are several reasons for the service to permanently phase out but majorly it is because of the availability of YouTube Music, which seems to be a better proposition to take on other music streaming services like Spotify and Apple Music.
Ideally, Google Play Music should have been integrated with the YouTube Music right from the beginning. However, Google decided to do otherwise and there was no way to bring the Google Play Music library onto YouTube Music. Not until now. Now, before finally phasing out the Google Play Music, the company has enabled import option on YouTube Music that allows its users on Google Play Music to transfer entire Google Play Music library over to YouTube Music.
Here is how to transfer Google Pay Music library to YouTube Music:
The import option on YouTube Music is a new feature that is making way to consumers in phased manner. Therefore, not everyone would find it but sooner or later it will be available for everyone. If you have a YouTube Music app on your smartphone, the process is fairly simple and the transfer happen in the background. Here is how to do it:

Step 4: Press on ‘Let’s Go.’ Button to start the process. The YouTube Music app will show what all will be transferred from Google Play Music, including your uploads, purchases, songs and albums, personal and subscribed playlists, likes and dislikes, curated stations and personal taste preferences.
Step 5: Tap on ‘Start Transfer’ button available at the bottom and the process begins.
The YouTube Music app shows the progress of the transfer. You can minimize the app and keep it in the background, if need be, and the transfer continues in the background. Once the transfer is complete, Google notifies you via email and notifications.
And if you are a podcast listener, you can visit this web page and transfer your subscriptions and episode progress to Google Podcasts with a single click.
