Alphabet Gets Ready to Pull the Plug on Google Play Music
Technology giant Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG) (NASDAQ: GOOGL) is preparing to send Google Play Music to that great gig in the sky. The music-streaming service was introduced in 2011, but Google stopped launching new features for it in 2016.
Big G will not abandon the music-streaming market, though. The YouTube Music service has been sprouting new features to match the Google Play Music platform over the years, and now Play Music users can migrate their cherished accounts to the YouTube-branded service.
The two music services will run side by side for the time being, but Google aims to shut Google Play Music down at some later but as-yet-unspecified time this year.
