Just six month after the official launch of Twitter’s new music discovery app, aptly named Twitter #Music, the project looks set to be scrapped.

Reports are saying that the social network site will cut their losses by getting rid of the failing venture. Despite a strong start, the app has suffered from limited usage in recent times.

The application, which recommends music to users based on what Soundcloud, iTunes, Spotify or Rdio are being shared, was launched in April, with its CEO leaving after just one week.
