Bloom.fm

A Web version was supposedly in development and originally set for release at some point in 2013,[6] but it was never made available to the general public.

On 30 April 2014, the owners of Bloom.fm, Digital Distribution Networks, announced that they were to shut down, due to lack of funding.

According to Bloom.fm co-founder and CTO/CPO, Thong Nguyen, the rebrand reflected a clean fresh start for the company and its new focus on mobile.

[4][11] As of September 2013, approximately 22 million tracks were available on the service, including content from EMI, Sony, Universal, and Merlin (representing over 120,000 independent labels) and various independent labels through aggregators such as TuneCore, IODA, The Orchard, PIAS, AWAL, Ditto, and CD Baby.

[5] The service was noted for a low entry price point with tiers determining the number of tracks a user could store on their devices or play on demand.

The company hoped these pricing tiers would convert customers who were previously unwilling to pay for music.

The company explained the higher prices in the App Store by stating that Apple took a 30% cut of in-app purchases.

[3] According to CEO Oleg Fomenko, several other versions were in active development, including dedicated iPad and web apps.
