Direct-to-Phone Music Downloads on AT&T
AT&T is finally getting ready to offer music downloads straight to your phone, but not that phone. AT&T has signed a deal with EMusic, the Web's second largest music download shop to iTunes. EMusic focuses on independent labels, unlike offerings from Verizon and Sprint, which traffic in mainstream artists such a Prince.The AT&T plan will cost more than EMusic's Web service; downloading 5 songs a month will cost you $7.49, where as 30 tracks cost $9.99 from the Internet store.
The service will initially be available on select Nokia and Samsung phones. AT&T may be playing catch-up in the music downloading field compared with other cellular providers, but they are offering a unique service. We guarantee you won't find tracks from The Wrens on your Sprint handset.
