Ovi Music Unlimited replacing Nokia Comes with Music branding

We can't say that we'll miss the awkwardly named Comes with Music service branding from Nokia. Of course, we're making the assumption that India's recently christened Ovi Music Unlimited store will be making its way global as Nokia continues to tighten up its service offerings in the race to compete in the era of modern smartphones. It's certainly consistent with the new Ovi Music naming convention so why not. Otherwise, it looks like nothing else about the all you can eat (for a year) music offering has changed -- particularly the DRM that locks "your" music to your PC or CWM OMU handsets for life-ish.

@Nokia N900 That's even worse.

@Nokia N900
And that has what to do with this subject ?

Though you are both right lol

@Nokia N900 It's a mouthful. Even in the WP7S form. That's 5 whole syllables!

Would be interesting if WP7S devices came out with a similar system for unlimited music downloading subscription through some Zune integration...

I really don't understand why do people think they need to "own" music. You never own music, you just purchase the rights to listen to it. The difference is that now you can choose between paying your $10 for the rights to listen to a single album infinitely, or for the rights to listen to all albums you want, but only for a month.

If you buy more than one album a month, subscription is cheaper.

And when I switch to a device that doesn't support the particular service I use, I'll switch to a service that works on that particular device, and I'll still have access to all the music I want. I don't need to move it to the device, convert formats, backup etc.

Launch it in other markets first.

[sockatume Posted Mar 26th 2010 10:26AM]

Actually, I've heard rumours from people in testing that they may be about to drop the DRM.

Plus, http://music.ovi.com/in/en/pc works on my browser now (Firefox on OS X), instead of the IE only store that most other countries have. Finally I say.
