The LÜM platform will be shutting down starting December 12th. Sad to see it happen.

That is pretty sad. I guess we will have an app update in the future to remove it.

That’s sad news. I have a nice little playlist I listen to there.

I agree but I wonder if the pandemic helped keep them viable longer than they may have been able too since everybody was at home more. 
I was wondering about this choice of business model for a streaming service. Admirable, but not sustainable… seemed like easy(ish) for outflow of $$, but not so much for the platform to earn in order to facilitate payments.
Will be interesting to see how it evolves.

It surprised me.
I was waiting for the LUM application to be available in our area, and here is such an unexpected news.

Shame to see it go. I enjoyed the playlist in the app.

Will need to check on a few from the soundcore app and my have to check where to get them once the Lum goes down.
It was enjoyable but I liked the previous playlist better than the current one.

I never liked having my choice of a Soundcore product having forced upon my their choice of music streaming being promoted along with nagging me to listen to something. I like decoupling of all my choices.
Certainly in Europe the bundling concept caused a large fine in other sectors away from music. e.g. Microsoft bundling IE.
Fortunately Soundcore allowed me to disable all my unwanted options to get it back to what I wanted of an app to control my Soundcore product.

I just want to say that it’s no loss for me personally. I was never able to use that silly service in Canada. Wise choice by Anker.
