How do you know it was worth billions? The company wasn’t making any profit remember?

a company can be worth billions or a billion but when a company start having problems and no one is looking at their way,it can be bought less than the value.the problem might not be sales alone.....

TechCapon:
I tell you but he will be pained that his work was left to die off like that. I feel it's because it's a black man's company. Otherwise why dump a company that was making profit ?

Must everything be racial? I see the Beats By Dre investment as a move by Apple to kill off competition and retain market monopoly rather than a racial bias. Dre made money all the same

Bizibi:
I prefer Facebook,they buy and improve to make profits not killing the company,other companies will avoid Apple......

Apple died with Steve Jobs

CHESTER48:
after android upgraded to 9.0. You can see the song playing without any app. Just using Google assistant. Apple now want to meet android and purchased an app. Called shazam. You have to open the app to know the song. While in android the phone just tells u the song even if your phone is locked and not using it. Apple can never ever compete android. Apple will die soon if another stronger company comes by

So much pride in ignorance..siri can tell you the song playing just like shazam...

ur not exposed

TechCapon:
that's also what I do all the time. That's how Apple bought Beats by Dr Dre headphone and now they've completely dumped the company. They released new sets of phones and produced their own airpods or wireless earphones. That's how Beats company just died.

they do that to kill start-ups that may pose threat to their market share. It's a strategy.

krattoss:
I really hate whatever apple lays it's hands on because they re damn too strict and stingy..

Imagine if android have bought this, u I'll easily download ur favourite shazammed song with little or no restrictions right from the app.
Now with this apple acquisitions now, it I'll have to redirect u to the iTunes Store to go buy the song or music u shazammed

I ll rather note down the name and go search it on musicpleer

you've said it all. shazam users will just drop

Mac2016:
That Shazam can never make profit with someone like me
My ears can naturally Shazam any music track

not when the singer has one soft accent whereby you won't be able to understand a full sentence from the lyrics

kill off competition? Then they should buy Sony, Bose, Bang and Olufsen that are making top class headphones and sound systems

Olodo24:

Lol. Unless the singer is not speaking English.

Apart from musicpleer, which other site can one download good music. Most times, when I try other sites, immediately I click download, it opens up as something else in another page. Only music pleer gives me what I want but sometimes, the music I want is not in their archive

lol.... may sound funny but I do not understand everything the lead actress in Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri was saying. I'm now searching for a version with subtitles

songslover is great. There you'll get the hottest songs from every month and full tracks from every available album. just search for Everything is love By the Carters on their site and see the full tracks from the album. musicpleer is good but it has different versions of many songs

Why do you not want to pay for music? It wasn't free to make. It cost studio time, equipment, engineering, backing vocals, editing, distribution. Even the people uploading it to their servers have to pay for data and hosting fees.

lapazi:


It's a simple idea, buy out the competition and simply let it die slowly...that way your own product has monopoly in the market...I believe they will do same to Shazam.

But can't Dr Dre start another company with different name. Altogether?

Or even run it fronting someone else as the owner. Nonsense.

I hate Apple. My Shazam, best of Apps.

It's not just about selling the product, all intellectual rights are sold also, if he starts up anything similar to what he sold, apple will sue him and win.
