Eircom pulls plug on online MusicHub

Eircom is winding up its MusicHub downloading service just over two years after it was launched to combat the growth of illegal music sites.

In a statement on its website, Eircom said both its MusicHub and Meteor Music Store services would be withdrawn on Jul 31 as they are “not a core business activity”.

Users of the service were notified of the decision by email yesterday.
