Google Play Music to be replaced by YouTube Remix music streaming service

According to a couple of sources, Google Play Music will be replaced as Google’s go-to music service with YouTube Remix at the end of the year, and users will be forced onto the new streaming service.

Although there aren’t any details on how Play Music will be phased out, Google is said to be planning on forcing folks off Google Play Music and migrating them to YouTube Remix.

Back in 2017, an initial report stated that Google had plans to create a Spotify-like music experience with a product called YouTube Remix that would offer better recommendations and the ability to play clips alongside music.

A follow-up report surfaced weeks later suggesting that Google, YouTube, and major music industry labels had come to an agreement on terms that would allow YouTube to launch this new music subscription service.
