Another closure comes from Google. Another service that goes away and with it the doubt that in the future the closure of Google Play Music may also occur . Indeed, the cancellation of the artists' portal by Google does little to hope in the continuation of the music streaming service of the Mountain View house. After the closure of Google+ but also of Inbox, even listening to music could be sent only and exclusively to YouTube Music.
Clearly for the moment there is no news on the closure of Google Play Music but only the so-called Artist Hub that is a platform that allowed independent artists to upload and then sell their songs and songs directly on Google's Play Store or even Google Play Music .
Can Google Play Music really close?
However, what many people note is the presence in some way of a sort of double platform on the part of Google that takes on the one hand the classic streaming music like Google Play Music , with the possibility also of having a personal library, and YouTube Music which the video is added to the music being listened to but which basically carries out the same service.
Hence the link to the closing of Artist Hub by Google to the subsequent possibility that the company may in a near future also delete Play Music, leaving users with only one service, namely YouTube Music. In this case the cancellation of the artists' portal will arrive by April 30 this year and from that day those who want to upload music to sell it to the public will no longer be able to do it with the hub but will be able to continue on YouTube. Here is the email sent to the artists:
"With the launch of YouTube Music last year, in the end we plan to replace Google Play Music with YouTube Music. Waiting for this change, we are closing the Artist Hub"
It seems that the end of Google Play Music is true and that the Mountain View company could integrate Play Music and YouTube Music streaming systems into a single platform in the coming months, simplifying the life of users.
