 "Don't Worry, the Ovi Music Shutdown Isn't Affecting Us")
Don’t panic, the Nokia Ovi Music Unlimited service shut down isn’t affecting us, and no it’s not because no one cares. The service will still be available in certain countries like India, Brazil, China, Turkey Indonesia and South Africa. Nokia pulled this program because they said there’s a lot of disinterest in the service. This has to do with the fact that songs downloaded via Music Unlimited come with DRM (Digital Rights Management) protection and are device specific.
Download a song in relief
The service originally provided unlimited free music downloads that were included in the price of the phone and backed by Universal Music, EMI, Warner Music Group and Sony. Ovi music users will still have access to their old tracks but will not be able to purchase anything new. Nokia will also continue to run a music store with DRM free music in 38 countries. But like we said, don’t panic India. You’ll still get your paisa vasool.
Paddy does not, we repeat, definitely does NOT belong in the category of Mac-head (yeh right!). She does get excited by her iPhone and her iMac and her iPod Nano and her Macbook and Bali's iPad and her future iHouse (patent pending). Ok, so maybe her head is a little bit forbidden fruit shaped. She likes shooting video (iPhone 4 camera zindabad!) and editing montages (Final Cut Pro zindabad!), whether the scene calls for it or no. In her spare time, she's either kicking it on stage with KB the keyboard or kicking butt at Taekwondo.
