RIM Launches BlackBerry Music Sharing Service
Published on:
Research In Motion (RIM) has announced BBM Music, a new BlackBerry Messenger service that offers a music sharing service that is tied into how many friends a user has.
The somewhat complex sounding service allows a user to build a profile of up to 50 songs, and change up to 25 of them per month. Users can then invite friends, and gain access to their music portfolio.
The more friends, the more music. Lonely people need not apply.
Omnifone, a music service provider, is providing RIM with a back-end solution for the BBM Music service that provides content management, music hosting and reporting functions. The company has signed music content agreements with Universal Music Group, Sony Music Entertainment, Warner Music Group and EMI.
A closed beta trial of the BBM Music service is starting today in Canada, the United States and the UK. The BBM Music service is expected to be commercially available to customers later this year for a subscription of around US$ per month.
