Saying that because tracks I bought on google music no longer work because the app updated itself not to exit anywhere only as you tube music.
so people that have paid for tracks now have to use youtube music with ads and a monthly subscription to get rid of ads.

Was he not the villain in the Bond film Tomorrow Never Dies? A megalomaniacal newspaper magnate played by Jonathan Pryce?

Ah.
Elliott Carter was an American composer whose music is quite evocative if you’re in an abstract or sinister mood.

Evil Media tycoon from one of James Bonds Movies
Tomorrow Never Dies
James Bond, an undercover agent, sets out to prevent a media baron, Elliot Carver, from waging a war between China and the United Kingdom after he is summoned by the Secret Intelligence Service.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomorrow_Never_Dies
Plot
MI6 sends James Bond, agent 007, into the field to reconnoiter a terrorist arms bazaar on the Russian border. Despite M’s insistence on letting 007 finish his reconnaissance, Royal Navy Admiral Roebuck orders the frigate HMS Chester to fire a missile at the bazaar. Bond then discovers two nuclear torpedoes mounted on an L-39 Albatros, and is forced to pilot the L-39 away seconds before the bazaar is destroyed by the missile because the missile is out of range to be aborted.
Media baron Elliot Carver starts his plans to use an encoder obtained at the bazaar by his henchman, cyberterrorist Henry Gupta, to provoke war between China and the UK. Meaconing the GPS signal using the encoder, Gupta sends the frigate HMS Devonshire off-course into Chinese-occupied waters in the South China Sea, where Carver’s stealth ship, commanded by Mr. Stamper, ambushes it – sinking it in the process – and steals one of its missiles, while shooting down a Chinese J-7 fighter jet investigating the scene and killing off the Devonshire’s survivors with weaponry loaded with Chinese ammunition. The British Minister of Defence orders Roebuck to deploy the fleet to investigate the sinking of the frigate, and demanding retaliation, leaving M only 48 hours to investigate its sinking and avert a war.
M sends Bond to investigate Carver because MI6 became suspicious of him after he releases news articles about the crisis hours before MI6 had learned of it. Bond travels to Hamburg to seduce Carver’s wife, Paris, who is also an ex-girlfriend of Bond’s from many years before, to get information that would help him enter Carver’s newspaper headquarters. He defeats three of Stamper’s men and cuts Carver off the air during the inaugural broadcast of his satellite network. Carver then discovers the truth between Paris and Bond and orders both of them killed. Meanwhile at Bond’s hotel room, he and Paris reconcile. The next day, she provides him the information he needs to infiltrate Carver’s newspaper factory to recover the GPS encoder. Bond goes to the newspaper factory and steals the encoder. While he is gone, Carver’s assassin Dr. Kaufman kills Paris. After Bond returns to find Paris’ body, Kaufman attempts to shoot him. Bond is able to kill Kaufman and escape, protecting the encoder.
At a U.S. Air Force base in Okinawa, Bond learns that the encoder had been tampered with, and goes to the South China Sea to investigate the wreck (which was actually in Vietnamese waters). He and Wai Lin, a Chinese agent on the same case, explore the sunken ship and discover one of its cruise missiles missing, but after reaching the surface they are captured by Stamper and taken to the CMGN tower in Saigon. They soon escape and decide to collaborate on the investigation. The two contact the Royal Navy and the People’s Liberation Army Air Force to explain Carver’s scheme; Carver plans to destroy the Chinese government with the stolen missile, allowing a Chinese general to step in and stop war between Britain and China, both of which have waged a naval war. Once the conflict is over, Carver will be given exclusive broadcasting rights in China for the next century. Finding Carver’s stealth ship, they board it to prevent him from firing the missile at Beijing.
During the attempt, Wai Lin is captured, forcing Bond to devise a second plan. Bond captures Gupta to use as his own hostage, but Carver kills Gupta claiming he has “outlived his contract.” Bond detonates an explosive which damages the ship, rendering it visible to the Chinese and British navies’ radars, and vulnerable to a subsequent Royal Navy attack. While Wai Lin disables the engines, she is recaptured by Stamper. Bond kills Carver with his own sea drill and attempts to destroy the warhead with detonators, but Stamper attacks him, and sends a chained Wai Lin into the water. Bond traps Stamper in the missile firing mechanism and saves Wai Lin as the missile explodes, destroying the ship and killing Stamper. Bond and Wai Lin share a romantic moment amidst the wreckage as HMS Bedford searches for them.

No.
Mind you …
I know nothing about Google Music, so even if I got your Bond reference, I wouldn’t have been able to answer your question.
Google Music updated itself not to exist any more.
Very convenient Google.

sorry this goes here
You tube music has some issues, there is too much compression being used in the music and tracks change volume between each track..
This became so annoying I bought one of these and installed it between the computer and the computer speakers.

So, have some of mine. 15 mins. From last recording.

Yes. Google Music is forcing everyone over to YouTube music, which sucks. You can use the app itself until December.

There was a time when I was so into music that I could name any piece of music after hearing a couple of chords of the first bar.
Now I couldn’t give a rats.
I’d rather listen to what birds and insects are left.

There’s still no place on the web for me to upload music.
Spotify costs.
Podcasts cost even more.
mp3 storage sites are limited to 15 min per week.
youtube isn’t music – it’s video.
cloud, google drive and dropbox are all inaccessible to google search.

No. Spotify is free to upload and free to listen, but there’s a couple of ads every half hour or so. Subscriptions are not required.
Podcasts are free to upload and listen to on every platform, although I think Apple Music needs a subscription. All you need is some editing software to piece it all together the way you want.
YouTube Music (previously known as YouTube Red) is both videos and music. There’s nothing stopping you from putting together some free stock photos together to make a “video” for your music. Or just a static image. They’re trying to push subscription for YTMusic but because it’s such a rubbish platform right now, it is losing subscribers by the bucketload.
You’re right about iCloud, Google Drive and Dropbox not being searched by search engines. It’s the whole point of having them, so you can upload stuff without the world finding out about it.
Soundcloud and ReverbNation do cost to upload, however they are both excellent places to share your created music. Free to listen.
You can also build your own free website to upload music. BUT… if you have a lot of music, you will need to pay for storage.
