Nokia today announced the launch of Comes with Music service in the world’s biggest mobile market. The all-you-can download service will be known as Yue Sui Xiang in China and though rest of the markets have DRM-ed access to the service, Chinese users will get DRM-free music, allowing them to download and play unlimited legal music on number of devices.
The initial phones that will take advantage of the service will be Nokia X6 32GB and Nokia X6 16GB, Nokia 5230, Nokia 5330, Nokia 5800w, Nokia 6700s, Nokia E52 and Nokia E72i.
Mike McGuire, Research Vice President from Gartner feels Nokia’s move of providing DRM-free music in emerging markets is crucial for music industry.
“By getting the Comes with Music service up and running in China, and with India coming on shortly, Nokia is taking important steps in continuing to expand its Comes With Music ecosystem. It’s also playing an important role in developing compelling alternatives for both artists and labels, and consumers.”
