Oh bullshit. I've been on that 7.99 since Google play music all access first launched. They said it was a permanent 7.99 if you signed up that first month it launched. Guess I'm moving services or going back to piracy.

Your account might be exempted, because that's an old old deal, pretty sure "grandfathered" in this case are people who've signed up like the last couple years lmao

The article mentions 7.99 prices specifically.

I signed up day one, then when they added the family plan I moved to that day one. They started charging me full price earlier this year. Looks like they are resetting everyone's price unfortunately.

Nope. I was one of those and I too received that email.

Or just ReVanced.

I've been slowly de-googling over the past few years.

If you use Plex+ plexamp, and subscribe to Tidal, you can get very close to the original Google Play Music experience.

Hope this helps!
