New Launch by Nokia in Spain: the Nokia Music Store

New Nokia Music Store is Committed to Local Content - Which Represents More Than 70% of the Music Sold in Spain

ESPOO, Finland, September 29/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Today Nokia (NYSE:NOK) has announced the launch in Spain of its new
digital music site, Nokia Music Store, which already has a catalogue of more
than 4 million songs amongst which can be found the highest-selling records,
independent record labels, and new national talent. With the launch of the
store, Spanish consumers can enjoy music of all types on their mobile device
or PC whenever they want and however they want, using a combination of
downloads and streaming services.

The catalogue of the Nokia Music Store is focused on the local market,
strongly associated with the consumer, as more than 70% of the music that is
sold in Spain is local. To achieve this, there is a team in each country to
determine more closely the tastes of each region, something completely
innovative and distinctive from other digital music stores. Its search engine
enables the differentiation between genres such as Flamenco, Latin music,
Alternative or Electronic, to name a few.

La Oreja de Van Gogh, Pereza, Melendi, Amaral, Deluxe, Krakovia, Coti,
Ismael Serrano, Extromoduro and Miguel Bose are some of the artists that can
already be downloaded from the Nokia Music Store. Nokia has reached
agreements with companies such as Universal Music, Warner Music (amongst
others), with aggregators such as The Orchard, and with local record labels
such as Blanco y Negro, Subterfuge and Pias, with the objective of offering a
broad range of genres and artists.

"With the launch of the Nokia Music Store, Nokia aims to make available
to all Spanish users of all ages the music that they want at any moment they
want, with all the facilities that mobility permits nowadays," states Manuel
Reverte, Head of Services and Software at Nokia Spain.

How to buy the music

From the palm of their hand, music lovers will be able to access a whole
new world of possibilities and recommendations, or look for favourite
singers. Browsing, downloading, playing and synchronising with the compatible
PC or directly from the compatible mobile device will now be possible with a
simple click. The Nokia Music Store also offers the first on-demand music
streaming service focused on local Spanish artists. For a monthly fee
consumers can listen to as much music as they want on their PCs. It also has
a pre-listening application of 30 seconds which allows the user to sample and
identify each theme. Furthermore, the consumer will be able to select any
songs they are interested in directly from their mobile device, to make their
purchase at that very moment or later on.

Tracks cost EUR 1.50 each (incl. VAT), whilst whole albums are EUR 10
(incl. VAT). The streaming service, based on monthly subscription and which
enables the user to listen to any music desired without limit, costs EUR 10.
All songs and albums are paid for by credit card.

How to manage the music

The Nokia Music for PC application allows consumers to seamlessly move
music from their PCs to their Nokia device. People can quickly create their
music library, make playlists, buy songs through the Nokia Music Store, and
then easily transfer the content to their Nokia device.

"We are aiming to satisfy the needs of users with a simple service that
is easily accessible, offering the most comprehensive catalogue of artists,
thought of by and for Spanish enthusiasts," claims Manuel Reverte.

Anyone registering at the store will receive all the latest happenings in
the sector with updates and weekly newsletters.
