Nokia officially announced today that its popular music service (popular everywhere else) is fnally coming to the US to compete with the likes of Pandora, iHeart Radio and the rest of them.
Those are pretty decent competitors, especially here in the US where they are King.
But Nokia has got an edge, their music service will come pre-installed on new and upcoming windows Phone and it has added features like finding nearby gigs/concerts of your favourite artists near you!
here is the Press statement from Nokia on the Nokia Music in the US:
NEW YORK, NY - Nokia today announced the launch of its free music streaming service Nokia Music in the USA. Nokia Music is a free mobile experience exclusive to Nokia Lumia handsets, providing consumers with a simple and delightful way to discover and enjoy music.
Consumers
can stream music from a suite of over 150 exclusive playlists that are
curated and kept up to date by an expert team of US based musicologists.
The playlists span a wide spectrum of musical genres from underground
Detroit house tracks to New York Philharmonic favorites. Nokia Music
also offers playlists created by global artists such as Lana Del Rey,
Lady Gaga and Rihanna.
Beyond the curated
playlists, music fans can create their own personal soundtrack by
selecting the Nokia Music 'CREATE' function that taps a library of
millions of songs and generates a playlist based on, and inspired by,
the artists they love.
Completely
advertisement-free, and requiring no registration or subscription, Nokia
Music lets consumers immerse themselves in the dulcet tones of their
favorite artists without being disrupted.
For
maximum convenience, Nokia Music playlists can also be enjoyed offline
so consumers can listen to their favorite playlists anytime, anywhere -
perfect for a long flight, journey to work or train ride.
To
enhance their music experience further, consumers can use Nokia Music's
'GIG FINDER', which locates a consumer's position and pinpoints live
concerts, gigs and shows taking place in their local area, taking their
level of interaction with their favorite artists beyond the playlist and
Nokia Music's mp3 store.
"The USA is the most
vibrant and competitive digital music market in the world - by a wide
margin. We have worked extra hard to ensure our service meets the
expectations of the demanding, active and inspired music fans in the
USA. I would like to challenge everyone to try Nokia Music and see just
how easy and enjoyable the service is to use," says Jyrki Rosenberg, VP
of Entertainment at Nokia.
Consumers who already own a Nokia Lumia 900 or Nokia Lumia 710 can download the Nokia Music app for free from Marketplace.
A
separate announcement today will unveil a collaboration between Nokia
Music, AT&T and Green Day around the band's new album Uno. The
promotion will see Green Day perform an exclusive concert and provide
exclusive playlists to Nokia Music for AT&T consumers.
