andrewilley Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 If the songs were purchased on Google Music, and downloaded to your device prior to the switch to YouTube Music, were they perhaps downloaded to an original Google Music folder that you can still access? Clutching at straws a bit here I'm afraid. All this is why I only store my own music locally on my NAS and my owned devices, as non-DRM files that I control. Relying on online streaming systems you are always at the whim of what those external services decide to do in the future. Andre Quote Translate Revert translation?

Then you can rip at whatever quality you want, and have a back-up for the future. Quote Translate Revert translation?

There are also other options for @SM8 to use to download his own paid music if Google are making it impossible for him, as I'm sure we're all aware, but perhaps not really suitable for discussing in open forums. Perhaps Googling YouTube Downloader might help, or I seem to recall "WinX" is another term that might prove fruitful. Andre Quote Translate Revert translation?

liang Anber_ Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 Whether it is songs on YouTube or Spotify, they are all protected by DRM. Therefore, if you want to download it locally as MP3, you may need to use a free converter such as TuneSolo Spotify Music Converter, DRM Converter, etc. Quote Translate Revert translation?
