I made the mistake if uploading all my mp3s from the 2000s to Google Music then deleted them locally to "save space". Missed the memo on Google Music getting sunset in 2020 (there were other things going on at the time) and rolled into Youtube Red Music Plus (or whatever) and they are now lost and gone forever.
Now I either buy music via Bandcamp and download the FLAC or replace the ones I lost via other methods and store them locally in Plex and play with Plexamp + Tailscale. That should avoid them getting googled again from any service.
- knaik94 4y agoI felt like the grace period to recover your files was okay and if you logged into Youtube Music, there was a way to transfer them for free. They kept the original file, no transcoding. The feature parity is not perfect between the old Google Play Music and the new Youtube Music, but I have not lost any files. Some of the metadata was incorrect, but nothing else.

- readthenotes1 4y agoI have songs purchased in 4 different mediums, sometimes more than once. Pretty irritating, tbh. I haven't bought a license to listen to a song, I've bought a license to use destructible chunks of plastic or bits...
