Sky Songs, the online music download service from BSkyB, is being swithced off after less than two years. BSkyB will close the Sky Songs digital doors on 7 February. Customers will not make any payments from now on, and existing downloads will be safe. It was launched last October, and offered a £6.49 per month package of unlimited ad-free online streaming plus 10 downloads, from a library of over four million tracks.

A Sky spokesperson said: “We’ve taken the difficult decision to close Sky Songs.  Although we are extremely proud of the service we built and the experience it offers, we just didn’t see the consumer demand we’d hoped for.”
