You're out and about and you've just been emailed a contract you've been waiting for. All you need to do is fill it out and send it back.

Read MoreGoogle removes option to send Play Music subscription gifts in latest app update
Google's messaging strategy is famously terrible, but its approach to music isn't much better. Google is moving slowly but surely to make YouTube Music its only music service, and that means more signs that Play Music is being mothballed. The option to purchase Play Music gift memberships is gone in the latest version of the app, and the webpage version probably isn't long for this world.
