Link: T-Mobile Launches Mobile Jukebox : Digital-Lifestyles (alpha remix)
T-Mobile yesterday launched their new upgraded mobile music service – with a new feature that might just help more people use such a service.
In the past, it’s been a bit of a bugbear to have to download a song to your mobile, then pay for it again to have it on your PC. Although the Mobile Jukebox service isn’t quite PC-compatible yet, it does give you a high quality WMA version (as well as the highly compressed mobile version) of each track you purchase – so you can download both and pop the high quality one on your PC.
According to reports, there’s over half a million tracks on the service – from the likes of Universal, Sony BMG, EMI, Warner, and independents such as V2 and Beggars Banquet. As a sweetener for signing up to the service, T-Mob are offering five free tracks to anyone buying a Mobile Jukebox-compatible handset during July 2007.
looks like the mobile music market is hotting up. I think I’ll wait until they can do the PC downloads though until I try it.
