Vodafone launches new mobile music store

vodafone-music-store.jpgVodafone UK has launched a new mobile music store that’s an application on your phone, rather than part of the Vodafone Live WAP portal. It’s branded as Vodafone Music Store, and offers full tracks from 99p, and albums starting at £5.99, with downloads happening over the air. Before using it, I’d want to know what DRM is involved, and how I’d be able to play those tracks (if at all) on my PC, my home stereo and my iPod. If there are too many restrictions, it’d make more sense to simply buy the DRM-free MP3 files from online stores and then transfer them to my phone. According to MocoNews, the new app will complement the existing MusicStation subscription service offered by Vodafone, rather than replace it.
