Google Play Music was killed, replaced by YouTube Remix

Since July last year, we have heard of Google planning to merge YouTube and Google Play Music, to create a new music streaming service. The article on Droid Life and Google's own comment has partly shed some light on that.

Accordingly, Google Play Music will be replaced by YouTube Remix, scheduled to be released later this year. Current Play Music users will be switched to new services by the end of 2018.

What Google says seems to be the same, referring to merging with the new service: "Previously we announced a partnership with the YouTube Music and Google Play product development team. Music is important to Google, it is necessary to have a product that meets the needs of both users and artists, at the moment there is no change and if any, we will notify you in advance. "

It should be noted that YouTube Remix was introduced at SXSW in March but Google denied that they had the plan.

The combination of YouTube's giant music video folder with the Google Play Music audio library is also reasonable, but what to watch. Google Play Music is now available in more countries than YouTube Red subscription service (for no ads), so video copyrighting will be a bit complicated.

As the music industry grows ($ 2.1 billion a year globally, reaching $ 7.4 billion in 2017), competitors like Deezer or Spotify have introduced new features to attract users. , Google is also choosing the right time to set foot in the game.
