Got this in my email,
Google Play Artist Hub Artist,
Thank you for using the Google Play Artist Hub. We hope that the Artist Hub, Google Play Store and Google Play Music have substantially contributed to your music career.
With the launch of YouTube Music last year, we eventually plan to replace Google Play Music with YouTube Music. In anticipation of this change, we are shutting down the Artist Hub. The Artist Hub shutdown will commence on 30 April 2019. Please note these key dates:
• As of 30 April 2019
Your content (e.g. tracks, albums, images, bios) will no longer appear in the Google Play Store or Google Play Music service (including the paid streaming and free radio service).
You cannot upload or add new content.
You cannot edit or remove existing content. See instructions below if you'd like a copy of your artist image and/or bio before then.
• By 31 May 2019
You will receive your final reports and payments (for all sales and streaming activities, if any) up to 30 April 2019.
• As of 31 July 2019
Your reports will be deleted from the Artist Hub. Please download any reports that you want before then.
We encourage you to become a YouTube Artist if you aren't already – please visit YouTube for Artists for great resources to get you started.
If you would like to make your music available for purchase/download, we recommend one of these YouTube partners:
• AWAL
• Believe
• CD Baby
• DistroKid
• Stem
• TuneCore
Thank you for helping to make the Google Play Artist Hub, Google Play Store and Google Play Music a success. If you have any questions about this shutdown, please email artist-support@google.com.
Sincerely,
The Google Play Music Team
To get a copy of your artist image and bio:
1. On the 'ARTIST & MUSIC' page, click 'EDIT ARTIST INFO'.
2. Click '1. ARTIST IMAGE'
3. Right-click the version(s) of the image that you want, click 'Save Image As…', and follow the prompts to save the image.
4. Click '2. ARTIST BIO'
5. Copy the content in the ARTIST BIO text box and paste into your document of choice.

Thanks for sharing! I received an email last month that they were dumping Google+, their version of Facebook. They do not appear to be wasting time on removing products that aren't profitable to them.

Crazy, I had no idea they would be closing that down as well. It makes sense though when I think about the fact that Google owns YouTube.
Cheers,
Ember

Their are multiple online websites to place your music. In addition to +++ SoundCloud +++ and +++ Reverbnation +++ already mentioned there is +++ Bandcamp +++ or +++ AmpSlam +++. +++ DittoMusic.com +++ offers free and paid hosting. +++ Wix.com +++ also offers free and fee based services that let you "build your own website" from scratch or using templates. Wix has multiple website templates suitable for musicians, songwriters and studios. Another choice is to use free, online storage services like +++ Box +++, +++ DropBox +++ or +++ 4Shared +++ to store your files. Each site has a media player that will play a music file. The downside is you have to provide a link to the file(s). All that aside, it is frustrating and sad whenever a music sharing service is closed.

Somehow, I missed that the Artist Hub even existed in the first place

Well,if SoundCloud ever goes out of business; a lot of people are going to have to rethink their music strategy.... Just make sure you always keep and back up local copies of your work, the MySpace data loss (whether or not it really happened) is a good reminder of that. I think that in general people consistently underestimate how quickly the internet changes. I read an article just recently lamenting that much of the early internet is already lost ... by early they meant mid-2000's! The example used was the Million Dollar Homepage (2005), which is almost entirely dead links now.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option
Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!
Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!
For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.
Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.
Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!
Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.
Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
Convenient Ways to Listen to Band-in-a-Box® Songs Created by Program Users!
The User Showcase Forum is an excellent place to share your Band-in-a-Box® songs and listen to songs other program users are creating!
There are other places you can listen to these songs too! Visit our User Showcase page to sort by genre, artist (forum name), song title, and date - each listing will direct you to the forum post for that song.
