Nokia’s Comes with Music if you like mainstream, don’t mind DRM, can live with restrictions….

Nice big article over on All About Symbian looking at Nokia’s Comes with Music service, where you receive two years of as much Digital Restricted Music as you can download from the Nokia Music Store. Admittedly you need to have a taste for mainstream music, and there are some gotchas, as I found it:

Let’s start with Eurovision ("must we?" – every AAS reader). It’s the biggest live TV show on the planet (112 million viewers this year), it releases a worldwide compilation album of all the songs, and after my previous article, I knew it was in the store. But there’s a problem…

Although there are 42 tracks, and they are all listed, I’m only allowed to download 25 of the tracks individually. The other 17 are only available if I decide to download the whole album.

Comes with Music and Eurovision

What is the point of that? Okay, it’s not costing me anything extra to do that on the PC, but it eats bandwidth, it’s awkward, and it’s a pain in the neck for the end user.

The full article goes into a lot more depth, over on All About Symbian.
