Google Play Music is shutting down
Google Play Music is being discontinued in all global markets by the end of 2020. The process has already started in some regions, and Google is encouraging users to transfer their libraries to YouTube Music before December. As a result, Linkfire is removing Google Play Music from all Linkfire landing pages next week. If you’d like to redirect traffic to another service, please update your links before Tuesday, November 24.
