Australian streaming service Songl to close
By Andy Malt | Published on Wednesday 27 August 2014
Australian streaming service Songl has announced that it is to close, eighteen months after its official launch.
A message on the company’s website reads: “Unfortunately, we are not continuing our on demand music subscription service after 25 Sep 2014. If you are a Songl Subscriber or 30 day trialist, you will get instructions on how to export and save all of your personal playlists via the desktop for use on other streaming services”.
As previously reported, after a period of beta testing, Songl launched in March last year. Owned by radio firm Southern Cross Austereo, the service was launched in partnership with Universal Music and Sony Music and attempted to distinguish itself with curated playlists by DJs from SCA’s roster of radio stations. Which clearly worked really well for them.
