Owners of Nokia Lumia devices in the UAE (United Arab Emirates) can now enjoy the benefits of the company’s Nokia Music service, which provides them with access to a wide range of local labels, along with various other tracks.

Some of the Arabic labels available for users at the moment include Meloday, Mazzika and Qanawat along with Bollywood’s T-series, Yash Raj, and Eros, as WPCentral notes in a recent article.

The Nokia Music+ service is also available for users in this country at the moment, with its own additional features, such as offline listening, unlimited skips and the like, available for a small monthly fee on Lumia devices.

“Nokia Music is great for discovering new music as it’s the only smartphone music service out there offering access to millions of songs out of the box without the need to sign up, sign in, or endure adverts in between enjoying the music,” Tom Farrell, vice president Nokia Middle East, reportedly commented.

“Today we also launch as part of this service a premium feature – Nokia Music Plus with ability to skip unlimited tracks and cache all the playlists offline.”

Nokia Music+ arrives in the country with no ads included, and was meant to deliver a diversity of music genres to users in UAE, covering Arabic, Bollywood and international music, Tom Farrell also said.

“The UAE is a melting pot of different cultures. […] We have worked extra hard to ensure our service meets the expectations of the inspired, demanding, and active music fans in the UAE,” he added.

Nokia Music+ started to arrive in various markets around the world only a few months ago, and is available for all owners of Windows Phone-based Lumia devices.

Those users who do not want to go for the subscription service can still enjoy access to the wide catalog of tracks through the free Nokia Music service, available exclusively on Nokia’s smartphones.
