"With Soundtracking, they created an entirely new way for people to express themselves by sharing their musical moments.," Rhapsody said in a statement,."We’re excited to incorporate that creativity and community focus within Rhapsody’s suite of music services.” We've asked Rhapsody for comment. But for now, it's unclear if the integration is complete and that's why the app is being shut down. Whatever the reason, expect more music app consolidation and shutdowns in the coming months, as apps, which are too often little more than nice add-ons, run out of funding.
