I used this recently to take my music out of Google Play Music and import into iTunes. The downloads were pretty slow, but it worked fine!

I hope you have an encrypted off-site backup somewhere.
I wasn't using Google for anything significant so it was pretty easy to delete it. If I care about a picture I'll print it and keep it in a book, I would never trust a corp that's only been in the data business for 10-15 years, especially one known for stealing your information for advertiser's gain.

you're absolutely correct. its only against the tos to create another account if any of yours have been banned. Having multiple accounts is allowed for work/private purposes. > Many people have more than one Google Account, like a personal account and a work account. Uses like that are fine.

I use this one every other month -- download everything and throw it in cold storage. Mainly keeping it for the scary possibility of being kicked out of my account.

Same. Do you know a good way to add meta data to songs? I’ve been carrying around a library since I was a teenager and I when I moved it from Google Play to iTunes, a bunch of the meta data was missing.

I get export errors with about 250gb in Google
Matches with me experience, the only effective way I've ever managed to export my drive is via FUSE mount systems :/
