Amplefuture has launched Pocket Player, a business-to-business “off the shelf” product that allows consumer companies to launch their own branded MP3 music download services.Â
The solution comes complete with billing and digital rights management options and is designed for users of Series 60 Nokia mobile phones.
“Pocket Player has the potential to revolutionise the distribution of music and provide consumers with an easy way to download and listen to music on their mobile phones instead of separate MP3 devices,” Derek Byrne, ceo of Amplefuture trumpeted.Â
Consumers will be able to download tracks straight to their PC or mobile phone and pay for the service using the payment method of their choice including SMS, Premium Telephony, debit and credit cards. Exact pricing can be confirmed by each individual client to match their brand and service, but can currently be compared to existing PC download services.
Amplefuture provides the solution as a managed service complete with billing, support and customer care. Pocket Player also features an option for the latest version of the Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) standards for Digital Rights Management. The OMA-compliant software incorporated into Pocket Player is supplied by leading DRM specialists Beep Science of Norway.
