Sony Ericsson Planning Music Store

Aug 30, 2006, 1:32 PM by (staff)

Sony Ericsson is likely to unveil a music store later this year. A company spokesman today confirmed that the manufacturer "indeed [has] such plans," and hopes to provide details within a few months. The move was expected both because Nokia recently bought Loudeye to launch a music store for its smartphones as well as because Sony and Ericsson have properties they can leverage for such a store. Ericsson has a platform for mobile music distribution and Sony owns a number of record labels. This music store was first hinted at when the company launched the W850. That model has new Walkman software that allows users to download tracks over the air.

Then, when that failed there was a relaunch of the Connect music service (version 2). That went nowhere.
Next we have Connect, relaunched again (Version 3). This time one was supposed to be able to download and listen to music and videos with their PSP. Kind of a Music-to-player-wtihout-a-computer idea. It does not work, and never really implemented.
