Solo DX Announces That They're Closing Their Doors

The team at Hollywood Access Services announced today that they are deciding to shut down the company. The team, which was comprised of descriptive audio professionals has spent the past few years trying to expand descriptive audio and enter into new markets. Last year, they released a track for the movie Philomena on the MovieReading app for the iPhone. They also have done tracks for shows like Breaking Bad, The Wire, and The Walking Dead. According to the email to customers, the tracks they've already created will still be available for purchase from iTunes or Amazon for the next year. Visit the Solo-DX website to find ways to buy their tracks.

I reached out to the team at Solo-DX to learn more about why they are shutting down. This was their official response: "Thank you for your email and kind words. Unfortunately, our company was not getting enough business to cover expenses, and after stretching ourselves as far as we could, we had to make the hard decision to shut down. We truly wish we could have lasted to get MovieReading more on its feet, but we hope that the enthusiasm the app generated and the in-roads we made will help them continue on and get more content."

Dear Subscribers,

We wanted to let you all know that we have made the difficult decision to shut down Hollywood Access Services and Solo-Dx.

All Solo-Dx tracks will still be available to download from iTunes and Amazon MP3 for about a year. As a separate entity, MovieReading will continue to work to add content to their app.

Thank you all for your support and enthusiasm. It was truly appreciated!

All the best,
Anna, Matthew, Justin & Mathayu
