Google today relaunched its premium video and music services, but says its existing Google Play Music service will remain unmolested. "If you use Google Play Music, nothing will change — you’ll still be able to access all of your purchased music, uploads and playlists in Google Play Music just like always," explained Google. Google Play Music carries its own $9.99 per month subscription fee. That fee has historically also included access to YouTube Red and YT Music. The same will be true of Google's new premium services. "If you are a subscriber to Google Play Music, good news, you get a YouTube Music Premium membership as part of your subscription each month," said Google. Existing customers can keep their current pricing. New YouTube Premium subscribers will pay $11.99 per month. This bundles together access to YouTube Premium and YouTube Music. Those who only care about music can subscribe to just YouTube Music for $9.99 per month. The ad-free version of Google Play Music, with support for offline downloads, also costs $9.99 per month. Google hasn't clarified if legacy Google Play Music subscribers will be grandfathered-in to the new YouTube Premium service.
