Nokia Music Store goes live in UAE

The Nokia music store in the UAE has gone live offering people access to a wide range of music tracks with a unique user experience either from the PC or compatible Nokia device.

Individual tracks on the Nokia Music Store cost Dh3 and albums cost Dh30 per album. The online store also offers a monthly subscription for PC streaming for Dh20 per month. All music can be purchased using credit cards.

With a single account, music lovers can access the Nokia music store via their desktop computer using the latest Nokia music for PC software, which can be downloaded for free from http://music.nokia.ae. The software allows users to manage their music, create playlists, and synchronize their music library with their Nokia device. Access to the store can also be done directly from a compatible Nokia device such as Nokia N79, Nokia N85, Nokia N96, Nokia E66, Nokia E71, and the soon to arrive Nokia 5800 XpressMusic.

Music is provided by all major international and regional labels including Universal, Sony BMG, Warner, EMI, Rotana and leading content aggregator Qanawat, as well as thousands of independent labels. Tracks and albums cover different tastes and genres from international, Arabic and Bollywood artists.

Other highlights of the Nokia music store include the ability to listen to a 30 second clip of any track on the store before buying it. People will be able to browse for new music, get recommendations or search for their favorite artists, songs or albums all from the palm of their hand. Once a track captures their attention, users will be able to add it to their wishlist to buy later or purchase it immediately for download to a mobile device without having to download the same song again on their computer. They will also be able to transfer purchased songs via a PC to compatible Nokia devices.
