Google Play Music
Google Play Music was a music and podcast streaming service and an online music locker operated by Google as part of its Google Play line of services. The service was announced on May 10, 2011; after a six-month, invitation-only beta period, it was publicly launched on November 16, 2011, and shut down in December 2020.
Users with standard accounts could store up to 50,000 songs from their personal libraries at no cost. A paid All Access subscription, introduced in 2013, allowed users to on-demand stream any song in the Google Play Music catalog. Podcasts were later included in the catalog in 2016. Also, users could purchase additional tracks from the music store section of Google Play. Google Play Music mobile apps also supported offline playback of tracks stored on the device.
Google Play Music offered all users storage of up to 50,000 files for free. Users could listen to songs through the service's web player and mobile apps. The service scanned the user's collection and matched the files to tracks in Google's catalog, which could then be streamed or downloaded in up to 320 kbit/s quality. Any files that were not matched were uploaded to Google's servers for streaming or re-download. Songs purchased through the Google Play Store did not count against the 50,000-song upload limit.
Supported file formats for upload included: MP3, AAC, WMA, FLAC, Ogg, or ALAC. Non-MP3 uploads would be converted to MP3. Files could be up to 300 MB after conversion.
Songs could be downloaded on the mobile apps for offline playback, and on computers through the Music Manager app.
Standard users located in the United States, Canada, and India could also listen to curated radio stations, supported by video and banner advertisements. Stations were based on "an activity, your mood, or your favorite popular music". Up to six songs per hour could be skipped when listening to curated radio.
Podcasts were also available for free to listen to for standard users in the US and Canada.
With a paid subscription to Google Play Music, users received access to on-demand streaming of 40 million songs and offline music playback on the mobile apps, with no advertisements during listening and no limit on the number of track skips. A one-time 30-day free trial for a subscription to Google Play Music was offered for new users. Paid subscribers also received access to YouTube Premium (including YouTube Music) in eligible countries.
