Nokia Music Store keeps expanding and now they are heading to Italy. The new store’s catalogue contains more than 4 million songs from both major and independent record labels, as well as new national talent.

Nokia Music Store focuses on the local market, strongly associated with the consumer, as more than 54% of the music that is sold in Italy is local. To achieve this, there is a team in each country to determine more closely the tastes of the relevant region. Its search engine enables the differentiation between genres such as Italian music, pop, hip hop and rock.

Individual tracks cost 1 EUR, whilst whole albums are generally 10 EUR. The unlimited streaming service costs 10 EUR per month.

Finally, it’s interesting to add this is Nokia’s 11th local Music Store. Previously the Finnish giant opened online stores in the United Kingdom, Germany, Finland, Ireland, the Netherlands, Australia, France, Singapore, Spain and Sweden.

The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
