 Vodafone have sent us news that its UK consumers will have access to unlimited music downloads, direct to their phone, from November 2007.
Through an exclusive agreement with Omnifone, the UK based mobile music company, Vodafone will roll out their MusicStation, which will give customers the ability to download tracks from Universal Music Group, Sony BMG Music Entertainment, EMI Music and Warner Music Group direct to their handsets, even while on the move.
Customers will be able to sign up for unlimited downloads from MusicStation for just £1.99 per week.
The service will be easy to use on new Vodafone UK handsets as well as existing 2.5G and 3G mobiles, ensuring that most customers do not need to upgrade their phones to access tracks.
The MusicStation service will be accessed through Vodafone live! on a wide range of music handsets, including new Christmas models like the Sony Ericsson W910i from November.
Features
- Built-in networked functions, including the ability to share playlists and tracks with other people.
- MusicStation customers will be able to build a music-based social network by receiving gig news and dates, messaging their friends and sending recommended tracks using ‘collaborative filtering’ and ‘nearest neighbour technology’ to identify new tracks and artists others are likely to be interested in.
- Downloaded MusicStation tracks and user playlists are stored centrally so that if a customer’s mobile is stolen, lost or upgraded, the replacement handset will automatically restore the customer’s music, playlists, friends and preferences the first time MusicStation is switched on.
- MusicStation automatically stores a customer's favourite tracks on the phone's internal or removable memory.
- Whilst some phones can store thousands of tracks, others store less than one hundred. MusicStation maximises the capabilities of any mobile phone using unlimited downloads from the network to provide access to any of the catalogue at any time.
- MusicStation's technology also ensures that the memory allocated on the phone is always used to store the customer's favourite and about-to-be-played music. This means that users can listen to their favourite tracks when in Flight Safe mode and have unlimited access to the full catalogue when connected to a 2.5G or 3G network.
