If it just had an Apple logo so I could show off how cool I am :D]]>Mar 2nd 2010 6:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/02/nokia-ovi-music-store-slowly-shedding-its-drm-shackles-globally/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/02/nokia-ovi-music-store-slowly-shedding-its-drm-shackles-globally/
Well, you see,
Google's "US only" free Turn by Turn navigation is a Game Changer !

But Nokia's Free Turn by Turn navigation for 74 countries in 46 languages, and traffic information for over 10 countries, as well as detailed maps for over 180 countries, is just a bit more attractive.

The only difference being that the streams are available everywhere.
So, if you wanted to you could listen to the local LA stream in Kansas.
They should have full live djs though. Have info on local goings on, etc. Live interviews with popular local bands.
Hell, they could even sell ads.]]>Mar 2nd 2010 9:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/02/nokia-ovi-music-store-slowly-shedding-its-drm-shackles-globally/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/02/nokia-ovi-music-store-slowly-shedding-its-drm-shackles-globally/
Forgot.. the tie-in being that any band that wants 'air time' agrees to sell their tracks for download for X amount of time at the going download rates and taking Y percentage of that sale.
In effect, that music store/streaming service becoming a sort of defacto publishing/sales label and local dj all in one.
Would be nice for people to have some actual choice in music again, other than what the big labels are pushing into top40 radio space.]]>Mar 2nd 2010 9:31AM
