    Google Podcasts to shut down in 2024

    Welp, another Google service that was too beautiful for this world.

    Time to move my subscriptions to other podcatcher then. [taking a quick look at various migration options] Hmmm. What to write on Google Podcasts gravestone? “Here lies Google Podcasts. It never supported OPML.”

    with listeners migrated to YouTube Music

    Damn. I migrated my Google Play Music purchases to YouTube Music and to this day I have no idea where they actually went. If I hadn’t downloaded the local MP3 copies with the terrible joke of a client software they had, I’d have been screwed. Went back to just buying music on iTunes.

      My migrated music from Google Play seems to be in the “Library” section of Youtube Music.

      I ended up recovering some of my music using Google takeout which in turn absolutely wrecked most of the tags on my songs.
