Google Music will randomly remove songs from their streaming service and they will never show you which songs have been removed/expired.
I got very annoyed by that, so I created this program to find which songs were removed from your Google Music library by searching all the .csv files provided by your own account data from Google Takeout (https://takeout.google.com/).
How to get your Google Play Music data:
-
Go to https://takeout.google.com/ and login to your account that has your Google Play Music
-
Make sure you only have the option selected for Google Play Music
-
Click the "Next" button
-
Select how you want to download your data (the default settings should be fine)
-
Click on "Create Archive" button
-
Wait a few minutes until your data is downloaded
-
Extract your downloaded .zip file. Inside of it you should see a Google Play Music folder that contains sub-folders with a bunch of .csv files for your Playlists, Radio Stations and Tracks
How to use this program:
-
Run my program with GoogleMusicRemovedSongsParser.exe or if you have Python 3.x installed, run GoogleMusicRemovedSongsParser.py with it.
-
Choose the source folder containing the Google Play Music .csv files you are trying to scan
-
Choose the destination folder where you want to save the results. (This must be a different folder than the source folder)
-
Chose a file name for the resulting file.
-
Click on the Search button
-
The program will tell you if it found songs that have been removed from Google Play Music
-
Open the resulting .csv file from wherever your destination folder was set to
