The corresponding settings page says, "Uploading or downloading music using Music Manager or Google Play Music for Chrome counts towards your device limit." While the same limit applies to YouTube Music, it's not clear if instances like 3rd party desktop players count against your total number of devices. Google Play Music has a pesky limit of ten active devices that doesn't only include your mobile devices but also any desktop computer you've ever used for uploads and unlimited downloads of music. Google Play Music lets you download your files right through its website, though there's a limit of two downloads per title when you don't use the Play Music web app (which seems rather broken/deprecated). You'll have to use Google Takeout to do that. Once you've imported files, there's no way to download them through the website or the app.



In contrast to Google Play Music, YouTube Music uploads are a one-way street.
