MixRadio
MixRadio was an online music streaming service that was operated by Line Corporation at the time of closure. The service was first introduced by Nokia in October 2011 as Nokia Music for Windows Phone, serving as a successor to their previous digital music initiatives that date back to the Nokia Music Store launched in 2007. It was rebranded to MixRadio in November 2013. Line Corporation took control of the service in 2015 and expanded the service to Android and iOS in May 2015. MixRadio was shut down in March 2016.
At the time of closure, Line's MixRadio was available as a free app for Android, iOS, Apple Watch, Amazon Appstore, BlackBerry, Windows Phone, Adidas miCoach Smart Run and Harman Kardon Omni Speaker range.
On 29 August 2007 Nokia launched the Nokia Music Store as part of the Ovi services portal from Nokia. It was based on the LoudEye/OD2 platform. The original idea behind the store was to provide to all Nokia MP3 capable mobile users a music store on the phone as on the PC. The Nokia Music Store officially opened first in the UK on 1 October 2007 with offering of music from SonyBMG, Universal Music, EMI and Warner Music Group, as well as others.
The introduction of the Nokia Music Store was not met enthusiastically with some mobile network operators who were already operating their own music download stores. Nokia managed to struck a deal to sell Kylie Minogue's X on the store in the UK from 21 November 2007, five days before its slated international release. The launch of the store in other European countries was delayed to 2008.
The roll-out of the Nokia Music Store service differed by country and region. It went live in Australia on 22 April 2008, in France on 23 April 2008, Spain on 28 September 2008, United Arab Emirates in November 2008, South Africa on 24 April 2009 (with Comes With Music following on 27 August 2009), India in 2009, and on February 11, 2010 (Comes With Music service) in 11 countries and territories in the Middle East: Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan, the Palestinian Territories, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, and Oman.
This service had its own PC software to serve as front gate of the store on the PC and on the phones. It was called Nokia Music initially, then renamed to Nokia Ovi Player in late 2009, and later Nokia Music Player in late 2011.
Until 2010 the service had DRM files that prevented files from being burn onto CDs, allowing playback from mobile devices and the PC software only. Market conditions encouraged a move to DRM free, as evidenced in the Brainstorm Magazine article "Music wants to be mobile...and DRM free". In case the user wanted to burn the song, they had to buy it from the store. Along with going DRM-free by the third quarter of 2010, the Nokia Music Store was also rebranded to Ovi Music to align with Nokia's Ovi branding.
During the latter part of 2010 and into 2011, Nokia Music continued developing its app client for the MeeGo platform along with its existing Symbian platform.
