LONDON, England – Ovi Music is certainly music to our ears. Offering a mountainous
catalogue of tunes, it’s a music lover’s best friend in his (or her) back pocket. But how does
it work, we hear you cry? What’s the difference between this compared to Comes with
Music? Put simply, think of Comes with Music as an all-you-can-eat buffet and Ovi Music as more of an a la carte option: you pay for tunes as you go. Want to find out what it looks like? Join us on a magical musical tour of Ovi Music after the break.
