online music streaming service

But amidst the celebratory toasts and a promise of better things to come, we can’t help but wonder if this is the beginning of the end for SPINNR, a music streaming service which the MVP-led telco launched just last year? Spinnr’s success story Despite the fact that online music streaming is a fairly new thing in the Philippines, it didn’t stop Spinnr from making its way into the mobile devices of the inherently music-loving Filipinos which eventually led to it being hailed as the top music app in the country. Meanwhile, other popular music streaming apps like Spotify and SoundCloud only account for 14% and 12% respectively. On the other hand, this begs the question why the telco still felt the urge to team up with Deezer, despite of the remarkable upsurge in usage of their home-grown music streaming platform? Smart was only testing the waters with Spinnr Prior to the official launch of Spinnr in the country, service providers under the PLDT umbrella has their own respective music-related services to offer their subscribers; Smart had Smart Music, Talk ‘N Text had MusikaTropa, while Sun Cellular had Sun Traxx. We assume that after their respective music-related services failed to make a significant mark in the market, these MVP-led network providers decided to come up with a unified music streaming platform to see if they’ll get more success out of it.
