Somewhat related:

I turned off youtube watch history.

I can no longer see my google play music played counts, because somehow the same permission covers both, even though I would like music history but not youtube history.




I wouldn't be surprised if that's a side effect of Google's plan to "replace" Play Music with YouTube Music, even though they're two completely different services.


Maybe they're the same service behind the scenes. Would you store the same music twice, if you had to run both?


They don't seem to be. At least not in terms of content. YouTube music has songs that Google play doesn't, and vice versa.

The YouTube music experience is kind of odd. It seems that you can only listen to full albums if someone has uploaded them to YouTube as separate songs. Which makes sense, but it means that currently a lot of the music I listen to is nowhere to be found on YouTube music.
