Holy shit man, that breaks my heart I'd very recently rediscovered Wynk and all my songs from my college days were on it

Have been listening to that playlist over and over Ofc, I can shift songs to YT Music, but I think all of us form attachments to products we love

Still working for me. My subscription is valid till 26 sep on wynk. Let's see. Though apple music is for android also but that will require making apple id. I'm really not sure if android will also have apple music.

I never downloaded any music streaming apps. I always downloaded the music from YouTube and played it using a MP3 player app.

Youtube lets you download in mp3 to your local?

I use a website and copy the URL to convert it to MP3.

Slowly all music streaming apps are closing down. First Gaana was sold for just 25L and now this!

25lac? When did it happen? 25lac is so low. An employee earns more than that.

At least they are relocating and not laying off
