Nokia launches international community: the Music Recommenders
Forty leading independent music stores from around the world are working with Nokia to create unique and customizable music recommendations, reports Slashphone.
"Internationally influential independent record stores including Fat Beats (New York), Reckless (Chicago), Pure Groove (London), Hard Wax (Berlin) and Mona Records (Tokyo) will offer a personalised selection of new music across 12 genres - from Pop to Rock to Classical, Jazz and Electronic.
Every month, experts from each of the stores will bring together music from their specialist genre.
Users can freely browse the music, search for music according to recommender, genre or style, listen to music clips and read weekly updates, artist interviews and city music guides. Once registered, subscribers can receive an instant playlist of 30 second samples."
