I don't understand why Nokia don't offer a subscription option to Comes With Music.

On a high end phone like N900, It would be nice to have high end options.

It would just unnecessarily raise the price. And I wouldn't accept DRM-tainted music even if it was free.

Maemo doesn't support DRM, that's pretty much the main reason.

I was not suggesting that it is bundled, but that it was available as a subscription. Spotify can do it , why not Nokia?

There is huge segment of the market that is happy with DRM, ie iTunes, so why not just create more options for Nokia Owners.

I was under the impression that i-Tunes no longer sold DRM music anymore. I buy iTunes music now and i can load it on to my nokia n95 or ipod or sony mp3 player or psp or what ever device I like and duplicate it as many times as i want with out any issues at all and all with the album art appearing on the device. For the record i think DRM was one of the dumbest and most crippling concepts to come to the digital music distribution scene. I believe apple and the record industry realized this as well after what i can only assume to be some devastating profit losses. Since they changed their policy i now buy music from i Tunes once again. I have a iPod but never use it. its just easier to get music for my nokia n95 using itunes. i hope it works the same way when my n900 gets here finally
