@nokia_UK have launched a music service with over 26 million songs available to stream for FREE. Using a TiVo type thumbs up and down you can personalise the music you listen to. There are also a bunch of playlists created by the likes of Nile 'Get Lucky' Rogers you can listen to.
So is this another nail in the coffin of traditional music radio? Well I have just spent 11 very sunny warm days in the Canaries enjoying Telefonica's idea of broadband and 3G - I had enough trouble reading my email - so streaming even on WiFi was pretty much a no-go, without traditional FM broadcast radio my holiday would have been radio free.
BUT with the push for 4G that mobile operators are selling as a network that can stream - services like Nokia's MixRadio are surely going to take a slice of the market away from traditional radio?
