Samsung Is Shutting Down Its Spotify Competitor

Samsung will shut down Music Hub, its subscription streaming music product that's similar to Spotify, on July 1.

Music Hub launched in 2012 around the same time as the Galaxy S III flagship phone. It was sort of a mix between Spotify and iTunes. You could purchase and download individual tracks and albums and pay $10 per month for unlimited streaming.

Samsung's Music Hub page says you can still download the app before July 1 and use it to buy music.

This year, Samsung launched Milk Music, a free streaming radio app that's sort of like Pandora. With Milk, you tell the app what kind of music you want to listen to and it creates a customized radio station. However, there are rumors Samsung will start charging for Milk soon.
