    How to transfer your Google Play Music library to YouTube Music

    Over the past few years, YouTube has enhanced YouTube Music to deliver a comprehensive listening experience and has also added features to make Google Play Music users feel right at home. This week, the company officially began inviting Google Play Music listeners to effortlessly transfer their song libraries, personal taste preferences and playlists to YouTube Music, their new home for song listening and discovery.

    For now, users will continue to have access to both services. YouTube wants to ensure everyone has time to transfer their content and get used to YouTube Music, so they’ll provide plenty of notice ahead of users no longer having access to Google Play Music later this year.

    Making the transfer and transition

    Many listeners have spent a lot of time creating their perfect song and podcast libraries in Google Play Music, so YouTube has made it simple to move both to their new homes. All Google Play Music users will soon receive an email with detailed instructions on how to begin transferring your full Google Play Music history and content, as well as podcasts, to their new homes. You will be able to start the transfer process of their music library to YouTube Music by following these simple steps:

    • Click on the transfer button in YouTube Music, and your uploads, purchases, added songs and albums, personal and subscribed playlists, likes and dislikes, curated stations and personal taste preferences will move right over.
    • Your updated recommendations will appear immediately on the YouTube Music home screen, and we’ll notify you via email and notifications when your music library transfer is complete and your songs is in the “Library” tab.
