Playlists, libraries, and content won’t be erased just yet. This will be everyone’s last change to migrate content and preferences to YouTube Music until December. In 2021, Google Play Music is going away. Starting later this month, users won’t be able to purchase more tunes on the old app.

YouTube Music is adding new features, including a new Player page redesign, a new Explore tab, and some new integrations with existing Google services. Google Maps integration with Google Play Music is coming, as well as an update to the Android TV app, and Google Assistant will be able to recommend new music for you.
