Samsung has called closing time on its Music Hub the net-based premium music service that was launched in May 2012 and available first on Galaxy S3.
Music Hub has allowed listeners to access their tunes on a variety of Samsung gadgets and was created as an answer to services such as Apple iTunes.
Samsung Music Hub users have now been advised to download any purchased content or cash in any unused vouchers and codes before July the 1st 2014 when the content will no longer be available and the service as we know it will cease to exist.
But addressing the future of music Samsung reveals something new will take over from Music Hub for Galaxy device owners and in an email statement to account holders the South Korean company says:
“We would like to inform you that Samsung Music is no longer available from 1 July 2014. However, we will announce an even better and more complete musical experience as a replacement option for Samsung Music.”
Music Hub began through the company’s acquisition of streaming company mSpot which allowed Samsung to bolster its library of tunes and provide users with a quality app on which to play through.
Recently Samsung has been working closely with digital radio provider Slacker on developing its Milk Music app and it’s believed from the ashes of Music Hub, Milk Music could possibly become the dominant source for all Galaxy-based music – with live, on-demand and download all under one banner.
