□Ĭlick the “All YouTube data included” button. It’s pretty eye opening to see all the content they have stored about you. There’s tons of other data we don’t care about here, we just want the music. They really don’t want you doing this, so it’s bare minimum to get you through the process and get the lawyers off their back. Google has created a tool that makes it very simple to download all of the music. I think we have GDPR laws to thank for this. So here I am at 12:35 AM, downloading all my music again. ![]() I think I let out a little squeal of joy before realizing it. ![]() I was surprised to find a tab called “Uploaded Music”.Īll my music that I had uploaded to Google Music! ALL OF IT! I really haven’t bothered since I refuse to pay a monthly subscription to listen to music I already own. Today, I was reading something on Mastodon about music streaming services and someone mentioned how good YouTube Music was so I decided to check it out. Since the six months was long past, the old Google Music site was just gone. I have looked everywhere for it, thought about it several times a week, and even considered starting over and burning all my cds again (yes I kept them!).Ĭhildren, we had to put round discs into a computer and then have the music on them copied into MP3 files. So, I pulled down the library and backed it up on an external drive, and forgot about it. Google gave us 6 months to download our data. It worked well…until the era of streaming subscriptions came along. So years ago I had settled on Google Music as a backup option and a place to store my converted mp3s “in the cloud”. ![]() My music library was in Apple iTunes, but I have never been a big fan of how it forced me into certain file formats and seemed to make it difficult to export them to other formats like mp3 or ogg.
