The American company Google intends to close the Play MusiS service by the end of this year and replace it with another application.
It is noted that he will replace the new YouTube Remix app.
For the first time about the new YouTube Remix music service spoke at the end of last year. Then it was reported that it would allow YouTube to more effectively compete with Spotify and Apple Music.
Soon there was a message that Google and YouTube managed to negotiate with the largest music licensing labels.
Remix, apparently, will operate on a model similar to Spotify, offering users to listen to tracks on demand.
Some features, including watching music videos, will be borrowed from YouTube.
In March, Lyor Cohen, a music service leader in YouTube, confirmed that the new service will be the best with Google Play Music and YouTube.
In practical terms, it is likely to mean forcing the transfer of playlists and music collections from Google Play Music to a new platform.
"We have already announced the integration of YouTube Music and Play Play product groups earlier - music is very important to Google, so we want to have one solution that meets the needs of both users and artists," said a representative of Youtube in commentary on Droid Life.
