       Tell HN: All your Google Music deleted on February 24th
        
       I didn't buy that much on Google Music, it was mostly indie, self-
       published bands/groups who needed a platform, but from 24th All
       Google Music is being deleted and the platform shutdown.  This is
       the email I received:  > We'll soon delete all of your Google Play
       Music library and data  > On 24 February 2021, we will delete all
       of your Google Play Music data.  > This includes your music
       library, with any uploads, purchases and anything you've added from
       Google Play Music.  > After this date, there will be no way to
       recover it.  > You can download your Google Play Music library and
       data with Google Takeout, or transfer it to YouTube Music.  > As a
       reminder, with one click, you can still transfer your music
       library, including uploads, playlists and recommendations, to
       YouTube Music before 24 February 2021.
