MixRadio being discontinued from March 21

Samsung launched a new Tizen-powered smartphone about six months ago at an event in India. The company also announced a partnership with MixRadio at the event, the partnership provided Samsung Z3 owners in the country free access for life to a library of 30 million songs. Unfortunately the life of this partnership wasn't more than six months as MixRadio is discontinuing its service from March 21, 2016.

Samsung Mobile India confirmed through a tweet that MixRadio is going to discontinue its service from March 21, 2016. It also calls on users to uninstall the app from their devices as it would no longer serve any purpose after March 21. There are plenty of other music streaming options but they don't necessarily have apps for Tizen-powered handsets so Samsung Z3 owners affected by this will have to rely upon web-based services like YouTube and Soundcloud for their music fix.

We regret to inform you that MixRadio is discontinuing its service from 21 March 2016. Please uninstall the app. pic.twitter.com/Gktn90jGUJ
