Same here! I don't have the Google Play music
app yet, but I love Songza, and have been using
it ever since I got my first iPhone. I even
recommended it to my sister, and she's enjoyed
using it as well, and I'll always remember last
Christmas when the two of us and my nephew were
decorating our tree and listening to one of the
many Christmas playlists on Songza. Hopefully
the new ap will be improved with accessibility
enhancements before the switch over is made, so
that we aren't stuck with an app we can't really use.

sounds when you flick, but VoiceOver reads
nothing. I really enjoy Songza and hate that this change is taking place.

Google to shut down Songza on Jan. 31, migrate listeners to Google Play Music
By Roger Fingas

Google will officially shut off Songza at the
end of January, leaving a two-month window for
listeners of the streaming service to migrate
to Google Play Music, according to an announcement.
The move is possible because Play Music has
been upgraded with Songza's core features,
VentureBeat reported on Wednesday. Contextual
playlists were added in October last year, and
free ad-based radio became an option in the
U.S. this past June. With the radio option
available in Canada as of today, Songza's
former American and Canadian markets are now covered.
Accounts ported to Play Music should
automatically carry over all playlists, upvoted
songs, and stations, the latter including
recents and favorites. All listeners are being
notified of the changeover, but will have to opt in to a Play Music account.
Songza's four co-founders will remain with
Google, where they will help integrate the
music streamer's features to all 60 markets Play Music currently operates in.
Google took over Songza in July 2014. At the
time it promised that "no immediate changes"
were planned beyond improving the service.
Competition in the music streaming industry has
greatly intensified during 2015. Tidal launched
in April, followed by Apple Music in June. Last
month, Pandora acquired Rdio for $75 million.
