Nokia has just annouced the lauch of a new, premium version of its popular music service – Nokia Music. The servce christened Nokia Music+ builds on the already popular Nokia Music brand. Nokia Music, as you might be aware, is already available on the Windows Phone platfrom and already offers a music store from where people can purchase tracks and albums. The Music+ service however goes beyond this.
It will offer users unlimited skips, unlimited downloads to their phones. The quality of music offered on Nokia Music+ wuld also be of higher quality and users would also get access to song lyrics. Part of the package is a desktop application of the same which will allow users to stream their music across multiple devices.
Jyrki Rosenberg, VP Entertainment at Nokia, quipped on the eve of the launch, “People love Nokia Mix Radio – in fact, many people are amazed that we can offer it for free. It’s the only smartphone music service out there offering access to millions of songs out of the box without the need to sign up, sign in, or suffer adverts in between enjoying the music. When you add in the ability to skip songs and save playlists for offline uses like the tube, you have something unique.”
Nokia has said that the service would be rolled out in markets across Europe first for a monthly subscription of €3.99 per month. Nokia hasn’t confirmed anything about a prospective launch in India. However, considering the fact that Nokia Music is pretty huge in India, we canexpect this one to land here soon.
