Nokia music store is here

Nokia has announced its Music Store service today. Offering a feature supported by last high speed networks on handsets, Music Store will offer seamless over-the-air music purchases and downloads directly from handsets combined with automatic two-way synchronization to the host PC.

Other features include dynamic music recommendations and a "Mix Me" feature for creating playlists of recommended songs based on genre preferences.

The WMA tracks will run €1 with entire albums starting at €10. PC streaming will also be available for €10 a month. Available now in Europe, before the year's out will be offered to other markets.

Vodafone UK apparently has an exclusive on the recently announced Nokia N95 8GB. Presumably that handset will actually ship with Nokia's Xpress Music software inside, but Vodafone could choose to leave it out.
