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, in the press release.
Consumers who already own a Nokia Lumia 900 or Nokia Lumia 710 can download the Nokia Music app for free from the Windows Phone 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.

Apple should really dump AT&T.
Give them a few years to sort themselves out properly..eh
Who is green Day. Why would I want Nokia musicologist making my playlists?
“Lana Del Rey, Lady Gaga and Rihanna”
Never heard ’em.
Green Day? I think they were big in the 1990s.
So what???
Why is your ass burning???
Apple is also offering many free services, then why are you barking???
God- another Shitscum paid troll…
eat this shit and go back to your hole with your stupid iphone.
There are more than enough free music streaming apps that this is really just a waste of a press release. Nokia is about three years too late with this (as usual). Nothing to see here. Keep moving. Rubbernecking not necessary.
Didn’t Nokia have a music streaming service for their dumb phones during the iPod era (pre-iPhone?
yes, but you could only download one song: “I’m A Loser.”
They lose money on each transaction, but they make it up in volume.
The iPhones biggest competitor will be new the Windows 8 Nokia Lumia 920. I saw some coverage of it and frankly it is a very nice device and a step up from my son’s Samsung 7.5 Mango Windows Phone which is truly enjoys.
MSFT does not need Samsung or HTC to build their phones as Nokia’s build quality is far superior.
This is why competition is good for everyone as it pushes innovations and quality and as consumers we all win.
Crap on crap on crap. I give the Windows 8 Nokia Lumia 920 two weeks on the market before it goes BOGO.
Go back to your hole as you come across as nothing more than a perfect AHole!
have you seen iphone 5? It has same old boring design. Now go back to your hole, and don’t come out.
I love my Lumia 900, and I will get Lumia 920 with wp8. 🙂
A Lumina 900 ghetto iPhone would suit you very well. You’re a perfect match.
Keep that ghetto iphone in your burning ass.

Actually sound like a viable alternative to some streaming services. The gig finder, if it works well, may be a nice feature to those wanting to see their favorite bans play live. I personally have no need for an alternative for my music, but some may.
playlists that are curated and kept up to date by an expert team of US based musicologists
AKA the RIAA. Yeah, I bet that sounds just wonderful. 😛
Completely advertisement-free
As well it should be, since it IS advertising for the RIAA.
So predictable.
Is it this stupid service with the retarded name “Comes with music” rebranded?
