Music Firm Passalong Networks To Shut Down

Music-distribution company Passalong Networks is shutting down, according to Digital Music News. The publication reports that CEO Dave Jaworski has left and that the company’s properties, including download platform StoreBlocks, are being put up for sale. A spokeswoman didn’t respond to an e-mail or call seeking comment. Jaworski told VentureNashville.com in December that he was trying to raise $30 million in additional funding, in part to pay off debt. The company has raised $40 million since it was established in 2002.

  • I was going to refer this site ( PassAlong) to a friend I had not seen in a long time. As a rule, normally do not like to download songs from sites specially the "Free" for the extreme danger of also inheriting other unwanted files along with it, and then I found PassAlong….what a great platform, I was happy….although not a heavy site user (Usually too busy working and not enough time for pleasure or leisure time) when I needed a song, I never hesitated to go to my bookmarked site. Well, must tell you this is very sad to hear, I just do not understand and would like to know more as for what are the reasons that Dave Jaworski took this decision and left us all out on the cold…I would have paid a little more for a song in it that's what it took to keep it alive.

  • Yeah, another quality company dies while crappy ones with deep pockets survive.

  • Passalong.com was really one of the best places online to get music. We always appreciated being able to buy music without any monthly premium obligations. Not to mention they didn't send a whole bunch of junk mail after you registered with them like other services.  They'll be missed.
