&quot;Forced to close&quot; is a really, really big stretch here.<p>They have a huge community, play an important role in online music, and have a seemingly excellent engineering team. I&#x27;m sure they would be acquired by a major media player long before they ever closed, but I don&#x27;t see that happening any time more. I bet they&#x27;ll just double-down and raise more money while trying to develop more subscription revenue offerings to music consumers.
