A 2015 Tecblast post promoted a temporary two-month Google Play Music All Access offer. That promotion has expired, and Google Play Music itself has been discontinued. The old offer should not be presented as available today: Google announced that the service would be replaced by YouTube Music by the end of 2020, with library transfers available only through that transition period.
What the historical record confirms
The original Tecblast article described a doubled free-trial period, but we could not verify the precise May 2015 offer terms from an official Google announcement. Treat the duration, eligibility, and geographic availability in that old report as unconfirmed historical details. They cannot be used to claim that a free trial is currently available.
Google’s official 2020 announcement is clear about the later change: Google Play Music stopped operating, and listeners were given a limited window to transfer libraries to YouTube Music or export their data with Google Takeout. That transfer window ended in December 2020. A legacy link or old installation file cannot restore the retired streaming service or recreate an expired subscription offer.
Listening to music today
Choose a current music service from its official website or your device’s trusted app store, then review the current plan terms before starting a trial. Trial eligibility, length, renewal date, price, and cancellation rules can vary by country and account history. Read the checkout screen carefully, record the renewal date, and set a reminder if you only want to evaluate a trial.
If you have audio files that you own or are licensed to use, YouTube Music currently supports uploading personal music through its web player. Google’s help page lists supported audio formats and explains that uploads are private to the account that uploaded them. This is a way to access your own collection; it is not a method for transferring a former Google Play Music library after the migration deadline.
Protect your account and device
Avoid websites that promise to reactivate Google Play Music, unlock premium access, or provide modified subscription apps. Such claims are unrelated to Google’s documented shutdown and may expose account credentials or install unwanted software. Use the official app-store listing for the service you choose, verify the publisher, and do not enter your Google password into an unfamiliar page.
For personal music files, keep a separate backup before uploading them to any cloud service. Confirm the files play locally, preserve their tags and album art, and check the service’s current storage limits and terms. These steps provide a practical path for managing a personal library without relying on an expired promotion.
