Digital media commerce solutions provider Muze and European operator O2 Germany announced a new, subscription-based mobile music service powered by Muze's Open Media Exchange distribution platform. Offered in partnership with MTV, the O2 Music service will offer simultaneous downloads to mobile handsets and PCs as well as progressive playback enabling subscribers to listen to their new music during the download process. Subscribers may also access the O2 music store online and download purchases directly to their PC before porting the tracks to their mobile devices.
"Muze has consistently proven to be a leader in this space," said Lars Dueysen, O2 Music head of music data services and portals. "Their far-reaching vision for the industry and the OMX digital media platform fit perfectly into O2's customer strategy.
