"Twitter is discarding its #Music iOS app as a failed experiment after spending nearly a year trying to gain traction for it. The company revealed on Friday that it will remove the offering from the App Store today and deactivate the app for existing users on April 18.\r\n\r\nThe company did note, however that it will \u201Ccontinue to experiment with new ways to bring you great content based on the music activity we see every day on Twitter.\u201D Last month, Twitter announced a new partnership with music industry firm 300 Entertainment to share up its music data and analytics. At the time, Twitter\u2019s head of music revealed that music is \u201Cthe largest topic of conversation\u201D on the service.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe unfortunate demise of the #Music app doesn\u2019t come as a surprise, as it fell off the App Store charts quite quickly last year. Twitter acquired the hype-worthy We Are Hunted music discovery service to build #Music, but users just haven\u2019t flocked to Twitter\u2019s music efforts.\r\n\r\nWhile Twitter is killing off its standalone #Music app, the mini-app created for Spotify still works."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
