Milk Video wasn’t a winning fighter in serving up interesting, curated, well-produced video.

Was it to be a sea change for Milk Music or just an expiration date?After initiating the shutdown of its in-house streaming music service, Samsung told Variety that “The rumor of Samsung acquiring Tidal is not true.” That streaming music service, owned by Jay Z, has been growing with exclusives and early releases from Kanye West, Rihanna and

We remember the company’s launch of its Milk Music service, which while cool since it offers access to around 200 radio stations and 13 million songs, was also disappointing in the fact that it was exclusive to Samsung smartphones in the US. If you’re interested in getting a load on the goods, the ...
