Play Music recently got merged into Youtube Music (formerly Youtube Red).

They kept all the features of Play, like uploading your own library, so honestly the least bad Google product death I've seen so far.

They killed the Google Music API, and the YouTube successor has no equivalent API.

You must have a wildly different experience with YouTube Music then me. This forced migration was the final tipping point to push me to Spotify. YouTube Music's UX is _horrendous_ compared to Google Play Music, and the pre-canned radio stations are almost completely missing.
