Gregory Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Hi, I subscribed to B&W society of sound until 2014. I wanted to check it again, but it seems the yearly subscription with 2 albums per month is not available anymore? I can find the page to subscribe here: https://www.bowers-wilkins.net/Society_of_Sound/Society_of_Sound/Music/Subscribe.html But t seems to work only for 3 months if you register a new product? Does anyone have a current working subscription? G. Link to comment
gdpr Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 I do, and 2 new albums were available for download just last week. However, living in Belgium, I am accessing SoS via B&W's europe website https://www.bowers-wilkins.eu/Login.aspx?redirectto=/your_account Dirk Link to comment

I just called them to see what is happening and at the moment they are not taking on new subscribers and did not seem entirely clear whether the service would be continuing the service or not.... It would be a real shame if they did not continue as they provide a great mix of music which perhaps would be difficult to find otherwise...

Thanks, Paul. $60 for 24 albums of good quality was a pretty good deal, That's one reason I wanted to give it another try. Link to comment
mansr Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 My subscription expires in January. We'll see if they let me renew it. Link to comment

I recently accessed the website and could find no way to join. Now I understand why. I would be really interested in the music they provided with Peter Gabriel playing a part in choosing them. Hopefully they do decide to eventually allow new subscribers. JC Link to comment
