Grabbing tracks on the go doesn’t get any easier than through the Nokia Music Store. It’ll work on a PC, so you can make the most of your speedy home broadband, or over the mobile network while you’re away. If you’re within a Wi-Fi hotspot, the Nokia Music Store will work at high speed through your phone too.
Of course, there’s a mountainous catalogue of music on offer. Support from all the major record labels, as well as the majority of independent publishers, means there’s enough music to satisfy every taste. But that’s not all. Nokia was one of the first companies to offer its entire store’s contents on a streaming basis for just €10 per month. That’s all the music you can listen to, for less than the price of a single album on CD. And if you want to download unlimited tracks rather than streaming them? Well, there’s always Nokia Comes With Music.
