This is how Play Music warns you when trying to enter the service: with a ‘Google Play Music is no longer available’ the only alternative that remains is move all content to YouTube Music.
Being a technology and software giant involves dividing the work of teams into a variety of services and applications, a strategy that Google often takes to the extreme. And not only when starting a new project, also when it’s time to close it: he google graveyard It is full of victims with more or less luck during their lifetime, victims who already greet a new closed service: Google Play Music.
That the music platform is no longer available is not something that catches us by surprise since we knew that sooner or later it was going to happen, Google itself warned. Although of course, there will always be those who resist taking the step to YouTube Music and squeeze Play Music until it sees them denied access. It’s already starting to happen.
As they discovered in Android Police, Google Play Music app starts showing ‘not available’ notice when trying to access account, too happens on the website. As we have personally verified, this unavailability does not affect all accounts in the same way since we have been able to use Play Music almost normally in some of them. This evidences the closure of the service gradually: Google has pressed the shutdown button and it will progressively reach everyone, just as it happens when it launches a change that is activated from the company’s servers.
If you have a subscription to Google Play Music, or you have music uploaded to the platform, you have to move it to YouTube Music if you want to continue listening to it. You can also download all your Play Music data including the music you uploaded, using Google Takeout.
