YouTube Music Adds a Transfer Option Ahead of Google Play Music's Shutdown this Year

Google is making it easier for Google Play Music users to make the switch to the company's now preferred music app, YouTube Music, ahead of its plans to shut down Google Play Music later this year. From a report: Starting today, Google Play Music users will be able to move their libraries, personal taste preferences and playlists to the newer YouTube Music service by way of a new "transfer" option available in the app. The company has been steadily working to make YouTube Music its default music service, in order to eventually replace Google Play Music. Last year, for example, Google shut down the Google Play Artist Hub and began preinstalling YouTube Music on Android smartphones. It said at the time those moves were part of its broader strategy to merge the two services. Now we have a deadline of sorts for Google Play Music's end-of-life -- sometime later this year, according to Google's announcement.
