As you probably know the Nokia Music Store went live in India a week ago and to my pleasant surprise, it debuted with over 3 million tracks. The store carries a large selection of Indian music across different genres, which included music in regional Indian languages as well. The reason I was surprised was because India not only has major labels like Universal or Sony, but also a large group of local ones, which I’m glad to say Nokia has been able to get onboard, as promised. You can find international music as well.

In this post we will be looking at the Music Store experience using an N97 which comes with a whopping 32GB of storage.

(From the N97’s Music Application)

(This was the first time it look me to the ‘India’ store)

(The first page that loads, the images/titles displayed may vary)

(The music is grouped under different categories)

(The latest popular tracks are highlighted to help you discover music)

(I can’t imagine how any of these would be a ‘Top Album’, but anyway music preferences vary from people to people)

(The playlist features a nice selection of old and new tracks)

(If you like a track and click on it, you get three options as symbolised above. The first is the option to listen to a 30 second clip of the track, the next is to add it to your ‘Wishlist’ and the last is ‘Download/Buy’)

(Clicking on the three lined button (under back) brings up this menu)

(The button under the above (the key) brings you to this screen if you have not signed in or registered. Else it takes you to your account where you have options such as ‘Wishlist’ and ‘Payment Details’)

You can access the entire 3 million songs, right from your phone and the good part is that you can preview tracks on the go, but the best part is that you can keep adding songs to your wishlist and then revisit the wishlist from a real computer and download all the tracks without having to search for them again. This really helps if you don’t have 3G access or a flat rate data plan.
