There’s not much time left for Google Play Music. We knew Google’s 9-year-old music service was about to disappear, but this week Google started the last parts of its cloud music service in the hope of pushing other people toward YouTube Music.
Elimination began on Monday with the death of the Google Play Music Store, which in the past allowed it to buy music to play and download, unlike renting everything you can eat that now dominates the music scene. The music store was a segment of the Google Play Store, which now only presents a message indicating that the feature has been removed. Google is opting out of selling music and now only offers a rental service through YouTube Music.
The other wonderful prevention feature is to bet music on Google Home and Nest Audio speakers. Although the Google Music app still works and you can get a playback started through Chromecast, you can no longer get music started vocally across devices with Google Assistant. If you go deeper into the Google Assistant settings (this means opening the Google app on your phone, then clicking ‘More’, ‘Settings’, then ‘Google Assistant’, ‘Services’ and yet ‘Music’), locate that the ‘Google Play Music’ option has completely disappeared. Now the only installations that support voice commands are YouTube Music, Pandora, Deezer and Spotify.
Google was talking about a sleek transition from Google Play Music to YouTube Music, and the initial move procedure will bring all your Music from Google to YouTube Music, the YouTube Music service is rarely in a position for high-time and lacks a number of features. Support for reading playlists downloaded from YouTube Music began to be implemented in Google Assistant this month, but has not yet affected everyone. I can’t start listening to vocal music now, even with YouTube Music decided on settings. just tell me “I can’t do this here, but you can ask me to read it on one of your other devices. “There are similar reports in the YouTube Music subtitle.
Google Music is expected to close absolutely this month. For now, all that’s left is to stream the smartphone app and Google Music website.
While there hasn’t been an official announcement about the long-term Play Store, I think it’s time to start wondering if “selling everything” remains the app’s long-term vision. In Google’s original vision for Play Store, it’s a one-stop shop for buying apps, games, books, movies, TV screens and music. But now we see evidence that the Play Store is separating.
In addition to wasting the music store on YouTube Music, we’ve noticed in recent days that the “Movies & TV” store doubles in the new “Google TV” app. Google multimedia apps in the afterlife had transparent links to their own sections in the Play Store, but that’s not what happens here: Google TV was introduced with a full duplicate store in the app’s codebase. On the front of Google Play Books, Android Police recently discovered an experimental UI check for play store that was completely undone from the “Books” section. This leaves only apps for the Play Store.
We would probably be on our way to an edition of google play store reserved for the app store, which would in fact make it less difficult to navigate the app, which lately is a nightmare to negotiate, with deep cascading sections for each wing. of Google’s media empire. It would also be a possibility to end the horrible logo of Google Play. We’ve already lost Google Play Music to YouTube Music, and Google Play Films and TV now lives absolutely in the “Google TV” app. This leaves the worst logo item, Google Play Books, which can also easily be Google Books, and remains just google play store. The “Google Play Store” logo wouldn’t make much sense right now, but Google Needs to make obsolete the millions of published Internet posters, maps, and yettons that exist?
