I wonder what happens to self-uploaded music. I read that it's being migrated, but will we still be able to upload, or will this disappear?
The only reason why I'm not with Spotify, but with Google Music (or now Apple music as test) is because I have a lot of songs that are just not covered in their catalogues that I uploaded myself.
- reificator 8y agoYep. Good old Tool, who won't let any streaming service use their music because it devalues the experience of listening to a full album. Except that it's been available on Pandora for years, which is the only major streaming service that doesn't allow you to listen to full albums.
- karpodiem 8y agoThis is the $1000 question. Google Play Music will live in the short term, but this comment from Google indicates that Google Play Music will eventually be retired - “it’s critical we have one offering that meets the needs of consumers and artists.” Source - https://www.droid-life.com/2018/05/16/youtube-music-price-launch-date/ https://www.droid-life.com/2018/05/16/youtube-music-price-la... Will YouTube Music launch with feature parity w/Google Play Music and offer an upload function so that users can stream tracks they upload themselves?
- Ajedi32 8y agoThe post explicitly says: > And if you use Google Play Music, nothing will change -- you’ll still be able to access all of your purchased music, uploads and playlists in Google Play Music just like always.
- dvcrn 8y agoYes, uploaded music will be available but this doesn't cover if we will still be able to upload new music going forward.
