And FWIW, the migration doesn't work. The "thumbs up" playlist goes into YT Music "Liked music" which includes all sorts of other YouTube "music-ish" videos that we have liked over the years and the order is all jacked up, plus mixed with all that other stuff.
So your "Liked Music" is now, not what you intended. The migration was super botched by the product team because of this.
- patrickaljord 6y agoI have videos of recipes and comic shows in my Liked Music. You would think youtube Google had better AI to detect this kind of stuff. Makes think many of the videos being wrongly censored/demonetized on youtube may really be because of faulty AI detection of the content. I do enjoy the fact that I can get all those live video music available on Youtube and not on any other platform.
- ehsankia 6y agoEven if could only get music, I still don't want meme songs like Gangnam Style and What does the Fox say as actual songs I listen to.
- likeclockwork 6y agoExactly! Mixing in the videos is ridiculous. Just because a video contains music doesn't mean it's part of my listening.
- onion2k 6y agoI'm curious to know what you think should happen to those. They are songs after all, and some people liked them because they actually do like them as songs, so how would Google determine what reason you liked them for? Are you suggesting Google shouldn't bring likes for certain songs over to YT music because you liked them 'as memes' rather than as music?
- conradfr 6y agoYes.
- polytely 6y agoJust let the Google Music import create a separate playlist called "Google Music Favourites". that took me 2 seconds of thinking, surely the overpaid 'talent' at Google can come up with a better idea that their current 'fix'?
- ehsankia 6y agoI don't want the option to completely separate my YTM likes from Youtube likes. I would much rather have to re-like a song again on YTM than have random videos show up on YTM. I don't want any of my Youtube content to be transfered. If you think of it, before when I was on GPM, I didn't have any of my Youtube content and I was perfectly fine. So I'm not sure why I need any of it now.
- orthoxerox 6y agoThe whole idea that things I've liked are the things I would like to come back to is ridiculous.
- pfortuny 6y agoTheir AI is optimized for revenue, which probably takes some annoyed people as marginal errors.
- patrickaljord 6y agoYes, good point. But I don't see mixing recipes video in your music as something optimized for revenue as I don't see any ads but maybe it pumps the views of these recipes or something.
- pfortuny 6y agoYes but it is just AI and ads... You cannot expect help from that.
- s3r3nity 6y ago>The migration was super botched by the product team because of this. I honestly don't know why Google's Product Team has any positive reputation at this point. I can count on one hand the number of positive launches from that company that didn't involve buying another company or product. It's almost as if they're so good at playing politics and "the game" that people can't see the actual track record is shit.
- ndesaulniers 6y agoAssuming there's one Product Team at Google? ha!
- adi2907 6y agoPartially agree,,Google Colabs is outstanding, even though inspired by jupyter notebook. Taking over scientific community
- jcrawfordor 6y agoI dunno, I believe Microsoft's Azure Notebooks predates Colab and perhaps gave Google the kick to make it public, and Colab was a spinout of an internal tool with a rather rocky relationship with open source that has still been a pain point I run into using it for teaching ("what is the difference between Colab and Jupyter?" is a question without an especially clear answer). Also they stole the name from GE's old internal social network. That latter one, at least, was not entirely serious criticism. I'm not sure that even Colab is an unmitigated win for the company, it does definitely have "that AWS feeling" of an internal tool that was made a product without really retooling it for that purpose thoroughly. This has kind of become the norm in cloud platforms, though.
- BostonEnginerd 6y agoAzure notebooks looks like it's being retired at the beginning of '21.
- spicyramen 6y agoGoogle Colab has a very very strong Engineering team. Part of Google Research they definetly changed the game when they offer a free product which 1) increased collaboration across ML research 2) offer everybody access to GPUs first K80 and now T4 which is great among researchers and students. Now many other notebooks products now want to be the Enterprise colab version
- ineedasername 6y agoThis. I guess, considering the Google product graveyard, I should be glad they had another service to migrate my music to. It's hardly a ringing endorsement for Google when the best I can say is "Well at least I'm not completely screwed".

- echelon 6y agoFigures it doesn't work. They don't care. To every Google employee reading this: your company sucks. Tell that to your manager. With the exception of Youtube, I will never use Google entertainment products again. No Stadia, no Google Play Movies. I don't know what their vision is for product, but whatever it is subtracts from the world. I was worried a decade ago when I saw music moving into the cloud. Now my fears are confirmed. Google never intended to be a good custodian. Google shits whatever goodwill it establishes right down the toilet. They do it at every turn. Before Google's music subscription product, I bought a lot of music on the service. And now they're deleting it all. All of my playlists and listening history is disappearing. That's not a good feeling. Screw you, Google. After the DOJ takes your illegal money printing machine away, you won't have customers left to go chasing after.
- homero 6y agoAnyone using Stadia is risking all their game purchases getting lost when it shuts down.
- moomin 6y agoThe thing is: this isn’t even a fringe viewpoint. It’s pretty obvious that people are avoiding it at least in part because it’s from Google, and Google are never in it for the long haul. They’re already getting proved right, as well, Stadia’s getting barely any updates or new games, no exclusives worth the candle. It’s really just a matter of time.
- homero 6y agoI'm using Nvidia geforce now because it uses my steam who I trust. Stadia should've used steam. Why even build a store that will just shutdown?
- fiblye 6y agoIs “risking” the right word here? It’s like saying jumping in a volcano has a risk of death. It’s going to happen. It’s just a matter of how soon and painful it’ll be.
- deepsun 6y agoI migrated everything to Spotify using Soundiiz (for a fee), it's much closer to GPM than Youtube Music.
- wesleywt 6y agoThe tinnitus masking video I used to sleep is now in my liked playlist.
- tomjen3 6y agoYoutube musics forward button doesn't work if you use a keyboard with media keys, since it doesn't forward to the next screen. In addition, the entire layout uses a single row, sized for mobile on my ultrawide monitor. How Google makes such a bad product I don't know. I switched to them because Spotify kept breaking their interface. Now they do the same.
