Users with Nokia Music Unlimited subscriptions can still enjoy their songs

Nokia’s Music website has been shut down in India, informing users that they can no longer download music through it.

In fact, the only page that works on the website is the one informing users on this change, while also offering some info on what they can do moving forth.

“This Nokia Music site is no longer available. You can still enjoy Nokia Music on most Nokia phones. Listen to mixes, enjoy your own music and connect to local music in the usual way,” said Nokia Music webpage reads.

“You will not be able to download music from Nokia Music through your web browser, Nokia music player or Aditi.”

Apparently, Nokia is determined to make the music service available only from mobile devices, and the message published on the aforementioned page is pretty straightforward about that.

“Your Nokia Music Unlimited subscription can only be used on a Nokia phone. […] Due to the changes Nokia implements to its services, Nokia Music Unlimited is no longer accessible through this website,” Nokia says.

The company also informs users that they will need a Nokia Music Unlimited subscription and a compatible phone to be able to continue downloading music from Nokia Music and listen to Mix Radio.

Nokia Music Unlimited compatible phones sold globally provide users with a free trial of the service, after which users can continue to enjoy access to music through a paid subscription.

“After your subscription has ended you can continue to listen to any music you have already downloaded on your Nokia phone,” Nokia explains.

According to a The Next Web report, Nokia Music was launched in India in 2009, and started offering DRM-free music one year later.

Interestingly enough, it appears that this is not the only music service in India to have been scaled back. E-commerce firm Flipboard made a similar move in May, claiming that it could not grow in the local market due to the high level of piracy.
