Google play music shutting down

I got this email and started to transfer my library only to learn it requires also creating a YouTube channel. The message says...<p>&gt; On YouTube Music, playlists are stored on your channel. To continue transferring your Google Play Music playlists, create your channel now.<p>&gt; All your Google services will display your channel name. Learn more<p>Huh? I don&#x27;t really know what a YouTube channel is and probably don&#x27;t want one. Does this mean my playlists will be public? What does the second part about all services displaying my channel name even mean? Clicking &quot;Learn more&quot; does not help. I&#x27;m having a hard time figuring out the privacy and other implications of transferring my music library. Why does listening to the music I uploaded have to impact all my other Google services? I don&#x27;t want a YouTube channel, I don&#x27;t want to be social, and I don&#x27;t want other people seeing the music I listen to.
