> Shame Google Play Music is going away

What makes you say that? From the linked blog:

> If you are a subscriber to Google Play Music, good news, you get a YouTube Music Premium membership as part of your subscription each month. And if you use Google Play Music, nothing will change -- you’ll still be able to access all of your purchased music, uploads and playlists in Google Play Music just like always.

> What makes you say that?

Years and years of experience with cloud-hosted products and anything that requires official support to continue to function.

Could you elaborate?

Google Reader, Google Wave, any of whatever chat/video/voice offerings they're planning on killing off in the next year or so. I don't even remember what they're called.

Which of those products were paid products and killed off?

Hm, I'm not sure if Reader or Wave had a paid version.

Google Play Music isn't a paid product for me.

Idk, play just seems more significant.
