Ovi Music: DRM-free downloads and enhanced search capability

Posted by Norman John in Mobile World Congress 2010, Nokia, OVI, Ovi Music

The Nokia Music Store recently received a major face-lift and is now more commonly referred to as Ovi Music, which is now offering DRM free music (for the a la card store only). This means all the tracks you download will be DRM-free, MP3 files that you can now play on a PC, Mac or any personal music player! Currently it’s available in just a few countries but more countries will be added soon. Moreover, as part of the change to Ovi Music, the search capability has been enhanced so it’s easier than ever to find the music. In the following video, Steve Steward talks about the new Ovi Music as well as Comes With Music:

This is odd. I recently had to re-install my Ovi Music purchases that are on my PC to my N97 and for many of the songs Ovi Music was asking me to buy the song again. As it was still on my phone and PC and I had purchased it from Ovi Music (or Nokia Music) and the songs were listed in my purchased tracks with Ovi Music, I find it odd I need to buy them again.

Indeed, this is odd. Have you asked the Nokia Music team why you had this issue?

Asked them? I would love to do so however there is no way to get support other than Nokia’s discussion pages. We all know that response from there can be slow in coming at best.
