3 makes mobile music available on PCs
Until now, customers buying tracks on their mobiles have not been able to access their music on other devices. With Mobile network 3's new ‘dual download’ service customers who buy their music over the air will also able to get a copy of their track online, for no extra charge, reports Netimperative.
They can then play it on their laptop or PC, transfer it onto an MP3 player, or burn it onto a CD.
3 believe that offering dual downloading as standard will provide an additional incentive to encourage consumers to buy more of their digital music over mobile.
3’s music service will sell tracks at a flat rate of £1.50, with each track available on both mobiles and also as a PC download. Customers buying a track over the air will automatically be sent a text message with a PIN code to access the same track as a PC download.
