According to Jyrki Rosenberg, VP Entertainment at Nokia people love Nokia Mix Radio and are amazed that its offered without charge.
Rosenberg added that Nokia Music Mix Radio is the only smartphone music service with millions of songs out of the box without need for sign up, sign in, or adverts. Users can also skip songs and save them on their playlists to play them later.
Nokia Music+ is better than that.
Rosenberg says Nokia Music+ introduces features like infinite skips and unlimited downloads and Nokia is opening the doors for unlimited music discovery at only €3.99 per month.
Rosenberg says,“This is for people who care enough about music to pay something for more quality and choice, but don’t want to pay €9.99 monthly.”
Nokia Music+ has unlimited skips, unlimited downloads, higher quality, lyrics, on your desktop. Rolling out in a few weeks Nokia Music+ price is €3.99/$3.99 per month but may vary from territory.
