Thanks for all the fish..

An adventure which started in March 2007 has reached a sad ending with the announcement of the closure of Ezmo. I am very disappointed that we did not succeed in creating the next generation music experience and that we have let our fans down. Working at Ezmo has been amazing and mostly thanks to all the great feedback from our users.
I am convinced that a service similar to Ezmo will be the preferred way for people to enjoy music, but it eats me up inside that we weren’t the ones who where capable of creating that next generation music player. In a situation like this you can of course look back and find things that you could/should have done, but nothing will change the sad outcome. What it all boils down to is that we failed and someone else will be the ones providing the world with a music player where they can play their music anywhere and share it with their friends.
There are numerous music services out there that provide somewhat similar experiences to Ezmo, but none of them really enables you to share all your music without limitations like Ezmo. I’m just going to mention the names of some of our friends in the online music industry which all can be an alternative to Ezmo, but they can of course never replace Ezmo 
- Media Master
- Anywhere FM
- Last FM
- Deezer
- Songza
- La La
- Rhapsody
- Sideload
- Orb Networks
- TunesBag
- iLike
- Finetune
- MyStrands
- etc, etc
There are tons of other services providing either locker services, internet radio, music discovery and many other types of music services. I wish them all the best of luck and I hope that a service like Ezmo will be available soon as I am addicted to that way of enjoying my music!
Cheers.
