## What it is
An unofficial Python client library for Google Play Music, supporting library management, playlists, uploads, and streaming via OAuth-authenticated clients. It is community-maintained and not endorsed by Google.

## Use cases
- manage my google play music library from python
- sync playlists between google music accounts
- upload songs to google play music programmatically
- build a command line client for google music
- create a music jukebox backed by google play music
- migrate my google music library to another account

## When to choose
- you need programmatic access to a legacy Google Play Music account for archival or migration
- you are maintaining an older project that already depends on gmusicapi

## When to avoid
- you want to access YouTube Music or current Google services - this API targets the discontinued Google Play Music service
- you need a supported or officially endorsed API
- you are starting a new project, since Google Play Music was shut down in 2020

## Facets

- maturity: abandoned
- function: http-client, sdk
- domain: apis, developer-tools, media
