Nokia and SonyBmg
Nokia Comes With Music devices will now come with a year of access to Sony BMG Music Entertainment catalog in an agreement announced today. “This initiative represents a critical new way of gaining access to music,” said SBMG President Global Digital Business & U.S. Sales Thomas Hesse. Consumers can download tracks to both their mobile device and computer through the Nokia Music Store for a year. At that time, they can keep their downloaded tracks and, should they purchase a new compatible device or computer, they can transfer their downloaded material by substituting their new device or computer for the original devices. Consumers can continue to get new music after the Nokia Comes With Music subscription is over by purchasing additional tracks from the Nokia Music Store, or moving on to a Nokia “unlimited access” subscription service. The initiative is expected to launch in the second half of the year. Meanwhile, Nokia is denying published reports that they are paying Universal Music Group $35 for every device sold, as reported by some press last week.
