In three days there has been a lot of positive progress for Nokia’s bet on the music world. Nokia has noticed that the future of mobile phones is surrounded by multimedia, and the only way to win markets was to join the trend. Nokia’s Ireland Music Store opened in the beginning of the month, while on the 21st of April, Nokia opened its store in Australia, and just yesterday, in France. More important than that, is Sony BMG’s alliance to the Comes with Music campaign.

Nokia tackles the music market with one more Music Store

Offering local based online shop is a good initiative, when you consider that you can download any local and international track on the move, and Nokia is making use of that at it fullest, with the launch of the new Nokia Music Store of Ireland.

Nokia is providing over 2,5 million tracks from both Irish and International artists, but the prices seem quite strange, and maybe exaggerated: 1 Euro for each individual track, and 10 Euros for a monthly subscription fee for music streaming to PC. With these kinds of prices, more people will opt for illegal P2P downloads or the Apple iTunes music store.

I hope this also helps the "Comes with Music" campaign, and that it provides more choice of download to those lucky ones who are offered one year of free music downloads.

"As the world’s largest manufacturer of digital music players, millions of consumers from around the world can enjoy our music experiences," said Mr Alan O’Hara, General Manager of Nokia Ireland. "We’re dedicated to delivering the best music experience, based on products and services that offer consumers choice, relevance, and ease of use. We also want to be more locally relevant than any other digital music store in Ireland. "

Nokia is celebrating the launch by giving away 24,000 free music vouchers for the store at NokiaFreeMusic.ie - each worth from EUR 1 to EUR 10.  Everyone who claims a voucher at NokiaFreeMusic.ie is also entered to win a Nokia N95 8GB device, Bluetooth speakers, plus one year of unlimited streaming music from the Nokia Music Store. Nokia Music Store will also offer a free track of the week every week.

Nokia Comes with music gets EMI to sign up

EMI is reportedly interested in Nokia’s "Comes with music" service which offers unlimited music downloads for one year on selected devices. The service is already operational with the Universal Music Group International, and is soon to be available with more international record labels.

Universal Music Group International Chairman/CEO Lucian Grainge was at Nokia World to launch the program with Nokia. "It’s fantastic to work with Nokia on Comes With Music," said Grainge. "We feel it’s an innovative way for people to discover and enjoy new artists, while at the same time having access to the amazing depth of the Universal catalog. Comes With Music allows our artists to reach new audiences in a very easy and affordable way."

The service competes against Vodafone’s Omnifone’s MusicStation, while LG announced that it will soon offer such a service. There has been much speculation on Apple’s iTunes offerings that it might offer a similar service that might increase sales in iPhones and iPods. However, Apple is only offering $20 per device to the labels, delaying negociations, as where Nokia offers $80 to the labels for each phone that incorporates the campaign.
