Nokia has partnered with digital-media specialist Loudeye to
develop a wireless music platform, following Motorola partnering with Apple's
iTunes
The multi-year agreement includes a substantial investment by Nokia in a
global collaboration framework developed by Loudeye, which claims the world's
largest music archive and offers a digital-media infrastructure for networks
launching customized digital-media outlets and services.
Nokia's move follows a partnership established between Motorola and Apple to
let iTunes customers store and play songs from the popular music store on mobile
phones.
The non-exclusive pact between Motorola and Apple signals the first instance
in which non-Apple devices will feature the company's FairPlay digital-rights
management application.
Apple will create an iTunes mobile music player for the world's No. 2
cell-phone maker, which Motorola will adopt as the de facto music application on
mass-market music phones that are expected early next year.
