Musicmatch radio service disappearing in UK

[mheden]

I've been a regular user of Musicmatch for a while. I subscribe to
their Musicmatch Radio Gold service - not as good as the 'On Demand'
service that's available in the US, but pretty good anyway. I had a
look at my account details today and it says the following:-

Musicmatch Radio

We're sorry, but Musicmatch is no longer licensed to provide Radio
Gold in your country. Your subscription will not renew once your
current term expires.

The only option under the 'edit subscription' button is 'Cancel'.

I really like the Musicmatch player. Is there any other online
streaming music service that supports the Musicmatch player, or do I
have to dump it when my current subscription ends? What are the best
alternatives out there?

Thanks,

Mike

Sorry to hear that, as I share your preference for the MM player, and I
don't think you can use it anywhere else.

As for your choices left, there is Real Player, Windows Media Player and
WinAmp. You might want to check out WinAmp if radio is your main interest.
The site below shows some of what's available with it.
