Article says Google is closing down the Artist Hub feature, a feature I never used, and this suggests they will be shutting down google music and move to YouTube music. YouTube music is a very different service from google music. One is video focused jukebox and the other is a full music streaming service like Spotify. My favorite features of Google Play Music are in Europe; (I’m not saying these don’t exist elsewhere) 1.Playing near you. Recommending music of upcoming concerts near my location 2. Pressing dislike skipped the rest of the track 3. Recommendations were good and included not so well known artists. 4. Automated playlists with themes like dinner time, morning work out. Dislikes: 1. No podcast integration 2. I never got lyrics working 3. Waiting for them to cancel the service 4. Interface was plain and no visualizer
