Aka, they've realised ppl would rather buy their music from better sources and Omusic wasn't making any money.

Exactly!

I used them once. Bought a few songs and realised that they get wiped from your account after 48-72 hours or something.

What a joke.

DStv Online explained that Omusic.com no longer aligns with their core business strategy.

In other words it doesn't make any money because it is crap.

First time I've ever heard of it.
Have I been living under a rock or was it not that well marketed?

Was mentioned once on MyBB, otherwise I wouldn't have known it existed either.

As opposed to DSTV who make money despite being crap.

People probably realised they can pay R 8 for the same song at Nokia Ovi than R 10 at Omusic.

What they actually meant to say was "we thought is was a great idea... pity nobody else agreed"

Now that I actually read this thread, me too. For some reason I initially thought they were referring to that Channel O music thing :/

What? You mean that you lost access to the tracks that you purchased after 3 days? How much did they cost?

Omusic is such an incredibly stupid name it was bound to fail.
