 Hey guys, this is Tom Warren with The Verge and we're looking at Nokia Music which is running on Windows 8. If you go into the application you'll notice this is actually a native application and it's not a HTML5 variant that's similar to what Nokia's offering on the web. Swiping up from the top of the bottom you get the sort of typical app bar support. If we pan across you can get into the various mixes that Nokia offers. You can also create your own mix. Nokia Music is kind of like Pandora so you can search for an artist in here and basically you're creating a playlist based on your favorite artist. I'll just put a few in here. And then what will happen is when you actually play the playlist it will go out and look for songs that are similar to say Bob Marley or Faithless or Rihanna and then it will play those songs. At the moment it's obviously playing a Bob Marley track here. You can't download tracks individually and there is support and if you hit the download button it will throw you into the web and you actually have to go and buy that song on its own. One feature that you can do with Nokia Music is you can literally select one of the playlists and you can take it offline and that will literally sync it so that it's available without any data connection. So it's a little bit similar to sort of rival services like Spotify and the rest but when you actually search for an artist here you'll get a view of similar music and radio stations and then you can actually go in and they'll give you all the sort of information and the tweets and stuff but you won't be able to go in and select specific songs. So unlike Spotify where if you knew the music you wanted you'd be able to go and get it, this is more of a sort of radio service where it will suggest music for you based on your likes. Nokia Music is also available for other devices like Windows Phone and it's actually a free service on that particular device. On Windows 8 Nokia is offering $3.99 a month for the subscription service. You get seven days trial free but then after then you'll be locked out and you'll have to pay for the subscription. So that was a quick look at the beta copy of Nokia Music and it's expected to come out in Q1.
