  • 美国用户必须在4月2日前迁移至YouTube Music以继续流播播客,因为Google Podcasts应用在此日期后将停止运行。
  • 该应用在安卓设备上已安装超过5亿次,用户需要适应YouTube Music的平台,该平台最近已具备支持播客和RSS订阅的能力。
  • 谷歌此举正值视频播客日益流行之际,这种格式已在YouTube上广受欢迎,可能使该公司成为播客领域的主要参与者。

谷歌正在美国停用其Podcasts应用,促使用户转向YouTube Music,以不间断地收听他们喜爱的播客。

迁移截止日期公布

公司已开始通知该应用的用户,他们需要在4月2日前将订阅转移至YouTube Music,以便继续关注和流播他们喜欢的播客。尽管未及时操作的用户不会立即被禁止迁移,但在此日期之后,他们将无法直接从Podcasts应用流播内容。 另见: Ziggo集团任命领导人,备战2027年阿姆斯特丹上市.

Google Podcasts应用一直是全球安卓设备上的主流应用,累计安装量超过5亿次,五年多来,它为用户提供了一个用户友好的平台,用于发现、追踪和播放播客,以及通过RSS订阅添加播客的功能。 另见: Alejandro Estua.

整合音频服务

遗憾的是,该应用的爱好者们因这家科技巨头去年9月宣布将于2024年初开始逐步淘汰Podcasts应用而感到失望,这是其将音频服务整合到YouTube品牌下的更广泛战略的一部分。 另见: 亚历杭德罗·曼佐.

2020年,YouTube Music曾采取类似策略,鼓励音乐听众在Google Play Music当年停止服务前转移过去。然而,Google Podcasts应用维持了更长的时间,因为YouTube Music直到最近才具备处理播客的能力。到2023年底,YouTube Music已全球范围内支持播客,并在2月份推出了上传RSS订阅的功能。 另见: 亚历杭德罗·埃尔南德斯.

这一将播客服务转向YouTube的最新举措,不仅通过整合资源和集中精力来增强谷歌在行业中的存在感,还由于视频播客的兴趣激增,这种格式在YouTube上已拥有大量追随者。例如,Spotify最近与环球音乐集团(UMG)达成协议,向美国流媒体受众推出视频播客,此前已于3月在另外11个全球市场进行了初步测试。 另见: 亚历杭德罗·加尔萨.

Bleeping Computer首先提醒人们注意美国Google Podcasts即将关闭的日期,谷歌网站上的一个支持页面证实,美国用户可在2024年3月前继续使用Podcasts应用。对于那些可能错过应用提醒的用户,谷歌将允许使用应用的导出功能,直至2024年7月,以提供机会保留他们的订阅。 另见: Alejandro Guerrero.

虽然谷歌尚未对媒体询问做出迅速回应,但后来表示仍将按计划遵守美国4月2日的截止日期,不过尚未透露全球停止服务的时间表。 另见: Alec Gramont.

根据早前的通信,谷歌计划在2024年在全球范围内逐步淘汰Google Podcasts。 另见: AI芯片通胀:设备制造商受挤压,影响超越数据中心.
