Nokia introduced a free, mobile-optimized music-streaming service in America last week, which it is celebrating with a Green Day concert in New York this weekend. The service, Nokia Music, is available on the company's Lumia devices and it offers the same sort of standard features as most phone music players (a loadable music library and an MP3 store), as well as an interesting new way to stream music.
Without having to give over credit-card information, forking over an email address or enduring time- and bandwidth-sucking ads, Nokia Music will start playing quality-sounding music – including custom playlists programmed by the likes of Lady Gaga, Rihanna and Pearl Jam – with one or two clicks. It also offers a GPS-enabled "Gig Finder," which will tell users which bands are playing concerts from any location. It's all part of a concerted effort that Nokia made to simplify the process of accessing music.
The app also features custom-programmed playlists by celebrities. Lady Gaga's list features songs by some artists you'd expect (Madonna's "Hung Up," Pink's "Funhouse") as well as some surprises (Judas Priest's "A Touch of Evil," Saxon's "Power and the Glory"). Some of the other artists stick to the sorts of music you might expect them to listen to (Rihanna's list features TLC, Drake and Katy Perry, among others, while Lana Del Rey's offers Brenda Lee, the Beach Boys and Springsteen).
