Nokia announced its new Music Store today, allowing you to download tracks direct from your handset. At the moment the compatible phones stretch to just the N95 8GB version and N81 but it’s a start. It works much like Apple’s iTunes music store with all the major and independent music labels on board with individual tracks costing €1 (67p), albums priced at €10 (£6.70) while you can stream music to you PC for a monthly subscription of €10 (£6.70).
You can also transfer purchased songs via your PC to 16 compatible Nokia devices, including the new Nokia 5310 and 5610 XpressMusic phones. This is made easier with Nokia’s new-look Music PC Client (available later in the year) that synchs your music library, playlists, lets you rip CDs and gives you access to the Music Store, a la iTunes. Alternatively you can use Windows Media Player to manage your music.
Purchased music will be delivered in (notably Mac-unfriendly) WMA format encoded at 192Kbps, with Nokia announcing ‘millions’ of tracks will be available on launch in Q4.
