Canadian communications company Bell announced the launch of All Access Music and All Access Music to Go - two music services that allow users to listen to, share and download mobile tracks. Bell's offering includes a catalog of more than 1.5 million music tracks, including the world's leading catalog of French Canadian music.

The All Access Music service is intended for users who own a PC and allows them to listen to and share their online music library from any Internet-connected computer, all for less than the cost of a single CD a month. On the other hand, All Access Music to Go allows users to download unlimited music tracks on a subscription basis to their compatible music player.

"Music enthusiasts demand simple access to a wide variety of today's best music and the flexibility to take their music with them," said Kevin Crull, President, Bell Residential Services. "Bell provides consumers with a one-stop shop, combining Sympatico High Speed Internet and Canada's best online music library with one convenient monthly payment."

"Customers get access to Sympatico / MSN Music Store's online concerts, celebrity play lists, Top 100 lists, the latest interviews and news from today's top artists, as well as exclusive content via Live at the Orange Lounge - all without fear of viruses, corrupt files, spyware and pop-ups that are often associated with peer-to-peer music download sites" added Crull.

The All Access Music service is available for $10 per month or $90 per year, while a subscription to the All Access Music to Go service costs $12 per month or $120 per year. Bell is offering a month a free trial to customers choosing the monthly subscription.

For the 'ultimate music experience', Bell suggests users to combine Sympatico High Speed Internet service, All Access Music to Go and the Samsung K5 MP3 Player. Bell is currently offering them as a bundle for $59.95 per month, with a two-year contract. The offer is available until July 28.
