Nokia Music Store Down Under

By The Guru on April 21, 2008

The Nokia Music Store is expanding, and rather rapidly, I’m excited to see. Rather late today, Nokia has announced that the Nokia Music Store is ready to rock and roll (pun intended) in the land down under – Australia. They’ve been testing for a while, as is noted in the recently-launched Nokia Conversations site, and everyone was very pleased.

Aussies rocking a recent Nseries device can access the store directly from their handset, with more devices coming soon. Tracks are AUS$1.70, with full albums costing – you guessed it – AUS$17.00. The unlimited streaming service is also available for AUS$10, though with the Nokia Internet Radio application, I can’t see why you’d want to pay to listen to Nokia’s option. Eh, whatever.

Congrats to the Nokia Music team, you guys are doing quite well with the steady rollout. I for one am looking forward to tomorrow morning’s announcement, and have my fingers crossed for the U.S. store to be open for business soon.

    Well I would have had a look at the Nokia music store.. but got stopped at the opening page…

    “Nokia Music does not currently support the Mozilla Firefox browser on your operating system”

    At which point I gave up.

    You can solve that problem quickly with IE Tab – https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1419. I’ve used it successfully with the British music store. You can even set it to automatically switch to pretend it’s IE when you hit a certain domain/subdomain.

    Guru, does the internet radio application allow you to pick and choose the tracks you want to listen to? Right.

    @Viipottaja – touche, though, also, the streaming only works on your desktop, not the mobile, so either way, it’s irrelevant (and partially bad writing on my part, apologies.

    I just can’t see paying $10/month for streaming internet radio, when there’s so many free (and legal) options out there.

    Oh, did not remember streaming is only on laptop.. well, that does certainly diminish its appeal, but I think its worth remembering that Nokia is trying to become an internet company and integrating as many features into the offering is in line with that – whether they are available on the portable device or not. I guess you could view it as them trying to create a “one stop shop” for all media options, including through Ovi.

    And its not internet radio, is it? More like “pick your music and stram”? Perhaps I am missing something.
