Napster, Tower Records team for DoCoMo channel

Digital music service provider Napster announced it will partner with retailer Tower Records (which is still up and running overseas) to provide music content for a new mobile channel launching via Japanese operator NTT DoCoMo. The Napster/Tower channel, available to DoCoMo subscribers via the carrier's Music & Video Channel, offers two programs updated weekly, each promising eight to 10 full-length tracks: Napster HITS! will sample new releases and current chart hits, while Tower Records Must-Hear Recommendations will feature genre playlists and vintage chart-toppers. Each channel boasts links to the Napster Mobile subscription service, Napster's a la carte ringtone store and its full-track a la carte store. The new programs will be available via 22 NTT DoCoMo handset models.
