Technics Tracks, the high resolution download site has announced that it will close at the end of June 2018. Launched in 2015 to complement the Technics premium products brand it was one of the earliest high resolution download sites.
Technics Tracks has reached an agreement to host the platform at the digital music and radio services site, 7digital. Registered users of Technics Tracks can sign up with their Technics Tracks login data for the 7digital platform to access high-resolution music. The decision was taken by the company so that it could ‘focus on our digital and analogue premium audio devices.’ Technics Tracks made the closure decision ‘following the market developments of streaming and downloading services as well as the general industry trends in the high-end audio segment we have decided to discontinue the Technics Tracks platform.’
All Technics Tracks customers have been informed of the closure and will be able to download all purchased music files until the service finally closes in June. Customers with vouchers have until the 31st May to redeem them.
A farewell message on its home page reads:
‘Technics Tracks managed to attract and to gain the respect of a community of distinguished music lovers. We are proud of that and very grateful to all fans and subscribers of the platform. We trust in your loyal followership in our Technics products as we will continuously launch highlights in the high-end music sector because we believe in the infinite possibilities and enormous power of music.’
