Cricket Wireless announced a new mobile music service called Muve Music. What’s interesting about it is that it comes included in a wireless rate plan that has been designed specifically for the mobile phone.

The official debut day is set at January 6th just in time for the 2011 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
