Samsung Milk Music will officially shut down today. Because streamer Slacker Radio has long powered Milk Music, users will be encouraged to transition to Slacker. To encourage the shift, Nilk users are being offered a free 14-day trial of its middle tier Slacker Plus along with the ability to transfer stations and song history. “While we’re not commenting on Samsung’s decision to no longer support Milk Music, our hope is that the impact on users will be minimal," said Duncan Orrell-Jones, CEO of Slacker Radio.
