AT&T announced an agreement with mobile music solutions provider mSpot to launch a pair of new music applications, Make-UR-Tones and Remix--in addition, the operator said it plans to significantly expand its Napster Mobile over-the-air download effort. According to AT&T, Make-UR-Tones enables subscribers to customize ringtones via mobile device, creating one- to 30-second ringers from more than 250,000 titles from labels including EMI Music, Universal Music Group and Warner Music Group. The mSpot Make-UR-Tones service is available for a monthly subscription of $6.99 for three ringtones--additional ringtones may be purchased a la carte for $2.99 each.
The Remix application promises subscribers direct access to PC-based music collections and playlists from their phones, offering immediate playback while simultaneously downloading the track to the handset's memory card. mSpot Remix is available for a monthly subscription of $9.99, which allows users to download 75 songs a month. A Remix booster pack will offer an additional 10 songs for $2.99.
Meanwhile, AT&T said it will make its Napster Mobile music service available to more than 12 million subscribers beginning this summer. Launched in November 2007 [1] on the Samsung SLM device, Napster Mobile will soon spread to a host of AT&T devices, offering consumers a catalog of more than 5 million songs and 30-second previews.
