LONDON, England – The concept for Comes with Music was first uttered publicly by Nokia back in December 2007, since triggering a full spectrum of opinions ranging from positive anticipation to fierce gut-felt cynicism. What is undisputed and exciting, however, is that this is a mould-breaking service that is igniting debate, pushing boundaries and perhaps, could fundamentally change the entire landscape of how we going about digesting music, directly or indirectly. Interesting times in tunes-ville.
New York, USA – It was surely only a matter of time but music label giant Warner Music has finally followed the lead of Universal and Sony BMG by signing up to Nokia’s Comes With Music and Music Store services.
LONDON, England – Judging by the coverage over the last 24 hours, it seems pretty widely recognised that Sony BMG joining the Comes With Music service is a huge boon. What’s more, the new service is not only ground breaking, but potentially industry shaping.
LONDON, England – During this morning’s press conference, Tero Ojanepro highlighted how the Comes With Music concept “clearly resonates with consumers” which we take to mean, it’s something we’ll all be getting excited about when it launches. After all, not having to worry about how much you’re spending on music on a monthly basis has to be a good thing, right?
LONDON, England – The global music download business is currently worth about $4billion. Tero Ojanpero reckons that if less than 10 per cent of the devices Nokia sold were Comes With Music devices, it would double the size of the market. That’s one helluva claim and probably one brought into the discussions which resulted in today’s news that Sony BMG is to offer its entire catalogue to Comes With Music customers.
HELSINKI, Finland - It won’t be long now before Nokia begins a revolution for music fans around the world with the launch of “Comes with Music”. Now, EMI has gone public stating that “we want to be part of it”.
