Or, at least, the company has officially indicated that it’s no longer going to be offering its streaming service, the oddly named Milk Music, as of late September. It started off as an exclusive app available only on select Samsung Galaxy devices, and we gave it a positive review for being simple and having no ads. The company stated at the time that it had no such plans, and while Milk Music is being shut down now, Samsung says it will instead outfit its device with existing music services.

While there’s no mention of what other services it will be working with, Samsung recommends existing Milk Music users switch to Slacker, which has been powering the Milk service since it launched.
Milk Music synchronized your music preferences and song history across all of your Samsung devices, and it also came with a Web-based player in case you wanted to jam at your desk rather than just using your smartphone. “We believe that working with partners will accelerate innovation, enhance device sales and provide wonderful new experiences for our customers”. It’s worth noting that Slacker Radio is ad-supported, and offers Pro and Premium subscriptions at $3.99 per month and $9.99 per month, respectively.
Users were able to listen to free streaming music anytime they like provided that they had a good Internet connection.

Now Samsung has unceremoniously announced the end of Milk Music. But the app was shut down within a year of its launch in September 2015. We hope that Samsung will allow the users to remove Milk Music first with it being pre – installed otherwise there goes 16 GB that the users won’t get back. “We have no additional details to share at this time”, Samsung’s official statement reads. Because it didn’t offer tunes on-demand like Spotify, the service was similar to Pandora with its focus on “stations” comprised of certain artists, music style or era.
