Music streaming service Songl relaunches to target absolutely everybody

Long time songl trial user but it seems to be the same as guvera. I’m no techie so not sure how it works but both are Sony. Can’t find the playlists I used to like either.

Did he REALLY say he wants people to say “let’s Songl that”? Double or halve the dose … it ain’t working at the moment.

Will be dead before it even launches. It’s last to market after Spotify and Rdio, it will have zero investment from the music labels and it will be promoted to a very conservative non music liking audience on Austereo Who are more into cash and stunts than music streaming

Having worked in the industry for a long while and having seen Songl before and after it’s relaunch I have to say it’s pretty slick and works well. Featured playlists by personalities is a solid model that will work.

@songl what? – face it buddy, it’s launched, it’s not dead and it’s got serious investment by industry leaders. Are you still using internet explorer by any chance ?

Before anyone asks, I have checked the IP address of “Music Lover”.

They haven’t previously commented so I can’t say where they’re from. So let’s assume that this is a comment from a well informed and unbiased member of the public, shall we?

Cheers,

Oh Tim, you so cute in a Luddite kind of way. Anyone who has an agenda, and wants to ‘game’ this forum, will mask their IP or access the site via a mobile hotspot.

No Adele, no new Nick Cave album, no XX, no Lumineers, – no point.

This is a misguided attempt by the major labels and austereo to try and cash in on what the proper services are doing.

So Sony and Universal are now both suppliers to, and competitors of JB Now, Rdio and Spotify – I’d liek to be a fly on the wall in those meetings.

And pity the poor customer who pays their 13 bucks for a service that is so badly put together.

try” songl-ing” that!

I’m sorry – what does this offer differently to Spotify, or any of the other established services out there?

You can throw all the names and money behind this – it’s not going to take. Save your investors time and resources and go back to the drawing board.

I’m not having a go at any of the developer’s on the project – I haven’t tried it – could be a well produced piece of software – but it is simply more “late-to-the-party” behaviour decision-making one would expect from the media industry.

Good to see SCA at least trying to get in the mix with an appropriately aligned product and leveraging on-air talent for new opportunities BUT with Songl’s ambitious objectives it would seem you won’t want/ need radio except for maybe drive? Are they doing themselves a disservice or just being realistic with respect to where they need to be in the future?
