South Africa finally has its first music streaming service.
Dubbed Simfy Africa, the service has been launched in South Africa as a partnership between German music streaming service Simfy (pronounced sim-fie, a shortened version of Simplify) and Exact Mobile. In Europe it competes with services such as Spotify, Rhapsody and Rdio.
The service gives music fans access to over 18-million tracks from local and international artists, with half a million songs being added monthly, and streaming is unlimited for subscribers.
The service lets users create and share their own playlists, as well as making suggestions based on listening patterns. And unlike some other streaming music services, tracks can be accessed offline or accessed on mobile, so listeners won't be chained to their desks.
The M&G has ten Simpfy subscriptions to give away, courtesy of Red Flag Design & Marketing . To enter, send your name and contact details here.
