Nokia has entered the online music business with the Nokia Music Store, which offers tracks from many artists that will run on certain model Nokia phones. The store will allow users to download music to their choice of their PC or phone.

With a single account, music lovers can access the Nokia Music Store via their desktop computer or directly from optimized Nokia devices beginning with the Nokia N81 and Nokia N95 8GB. You can browse for new music, get recommendations or search for your favorite artists, songs or albums all from the palm of your hand. Once a track captures your attention, you can add it to your wishlist to buy later or purchase it immediately for download to your device without having to download the same song again on your computer. You can also transfer purchased songs via your PC to compatible Nokia devices, including the Nokia 5310 XpressMusic and Nokia 5610 XpressMusic. You can pay by a variety of payment options, including credit cards, PayPal and pre-paid vouchers.

The Nokia Music Store is opening across key European markets this fall with additional stores in Europe and Asia opening over the coming months. Individual tracks will cost EUR 1.00 and albums from EUR 10.00, with a monthly subscription for PC streaming for EUR 10.00.

One of the unique selling points to the service is the emphasis on local. The music store will offer lots of songs from local artists and artists in the user’s country of origin. Since Nokia is by far the world’s largest producer of cell phones, it’s extremely likely that the music store will rise rapidly in the ranks of digital providers of music.
