First online Nokia Music Store in MEA to launch in UAE

Nokia is launching its first online Nokia Music Store for the Middle East in the UAE, allowing consumers to be able to purchase a wide range of music from major regional and international artists, commencing December.

Consumers can preview a 30 second clip of any track in the Nokia Music Store before purchasing

The Middle East’s first store will be Nokia’s 12th rolled out globally alongside such markets as UK, Germany and Australia, and is the first in an emerging market.

The website will include interactive features such as music browsing, personal track recommendations and streaming services, and will offer international, Arabic and Bollywood music collections from global and regional labels including Universal, Sony BMG, Warner, EMI, Rotana and Qanawat.

“The Nokia Music Store is a fantastic way to build a music collection that is truly mobile, where users can be confident that they are legally downloading music that is high quality and risk free,” commented Chris Braam, vice president of sales for Nokia Middle East and Africa. “It brings a new kind of experience where people can preview, try and discover new music on their PC or on their mobile device like never before.”

The online store will be available at http://music.nokia.ae and offers consumers the option of listening to a 30 second clip of any track, before they buy individual songs, complete albums or a monthly subscription for PC streaming.
