The replacement is demonstrably worse than play music. Play music had good recommendations and a reasonable interface. I don't understand why google keeps doing this to good products that under any other organization would be front line.
Probably because they keep replacing products with other products and don’t want to maintain "old" products. Not saying this is a good thing.
Hah, I knew sooner or later Google would kill it off. Songza was a great buy, (They did semi-curated musical playlists by genre/mood/etc) had a better name, and made "Google play music" actually semi-decent.
Then Google let it sit, and rot, and die slowly on the vine over the past ~4 years. Guess its off to Spotify.
Previous discussion here from a couple weeks ago. I thought Google is transitioning Play Music to YouTube Music?
