Music discovery startup Exfm is shutting down for good

On Monday, Exfm closes for good. This news comes after a period of uncertainty following a December announcement that they would shut but would continue on with a Chrome extension. In January Exfm delayed closure but now everything, apparently including the Chrome extension, is shutting down. Yet the founders say they expect to announce their next steps soon and “believe we will ultimately provide you with the best music service in the seven kingdoms.”

Music discovery startup Exfm announced this week that it will shut down for good on May 19. Exfm first announced that it was going to shut down late last year, at the time blaming “the litigious nature of the music industry” as one of the reason it called quits. However, in January, it just kept going, alluding at the possibility of a partnership. Now, it looks like that partnership won’t include the current service. In a blog post, Exfm’s executive team put it this way: “We are very excited for what’s next and believe we will ultimately provide you with the best music service in the seven kingdoms.”
