Songza folds into Google Play Music in early 2016
More than a year ago, Google acquired Songza to bolster its music streaming efforts with personalization. But Songza continued to operate the same despite being owned by Google; however, today the music streaming service announced its fate. Although it will indeed disappear for good, Songza will be folded into Google Play Music early next year.

Songza’s final day of operation will come on January 30, 2016. The following day, Google Play Music will absorb Songza accounts so that users will not lose their favorite playlists and listening history. Existing users of Songza just need to agree to the company’s new Terms of Service and Google’s Privacy Policy. Songza’s founders are making it clear to their loyal fanbase that moving over to Play Music has relatively few changes. Play Music costs nothing to use, though a paid subscription exists, and elements of Songza already live within it. The Concierge feature, which matches moods with music, was designed by Songza.
