We asked, you told us: You are not thrilled about switching to YouTube Music
August 04, 2025
Google made anannouncementthis week regarding its mess of music streaming services. YouTube Music users will soon be able totransfer their local music librariesfrom Google Play Music with just a single tap, makingYouTube Musicthat much more powerful. However, Google also let us know that Play Music would be shuttered by the end of the year. That, unsurprisingly, is proving to be an unpopular decision.
Google Play Music users: Are you switching to YouTube Music?
A massive 42.58% of Google Play Music users do not like YouTube Music and will not switch to the service. I can’t say I blame them — YouTube Music is still half-baked compared to Play Music, and many think it’s nothing more than a way for Google tokeep YouTube minutes rolling in.
Roughly 22% ofAndroid Authorityreaders have already switched toYouTube Music, while 12% are going to give it a try once more features are available. Another 22% of voters are entirely on the fence.
Notably, nearly half of all Twitter voters said they’re not switching to YouTube Music, while closer to 30% of website voters say they’re not switching. In general, website voters seem to be much more welcoming to YouTube Music, while Twitter users seem to be all-in on other music services already.
