Google Play Music (RIP)

Google Play Music is going away soon

Updates to your music transfer
Did you make any changes to your Google Play Music library after you transferred? If so, make sure to transfer again to update your library in YouTube Music. Update your music library.

Google Play Music library and data
In addition to transferring your library to YouTube Music, you have the option to download any music that you’ve purchased or uploaded to Google Play Music, as well as a list of the tracks, playlists, and radio stations in your library. We’ll notify you before you’ll lose access to your Google Play Music library and data. You can also delete your Google Play Music data.

Music Manager and uploads
Uploading and downloading music with Music Manager will be discontinued starting in 30 days. But don’t worry – you can always upload your personal music collection to YouTube Music or download your existing tracks via Google Takeout.

Even it's death is a gradual rollout. Still works for me.
