The world’s first digital music download subscription will get mobile in Australia thanks to Hutchison’s Three network and destraMusic’s MP3.com.au division.<\/p>\n

The announcement is a rare digital content first for Australian users. For a $3.00 per month subscription fee subscribers will get access to ‘all you can eat’ downloads.<\/p>\n

The downside is that although the MP3.com.au music catalogue numbers in the 100,000 tracks, these are from independent artists rather than the higher profile songs in other catalogues.<\/font><\/p>\n

MP3.com.au features <\/font>15,000 Australian and 10,000 international artists.<\/p>\n

The downloads will be converted into the mobile music standard format mpg4.<\/font><\/p>\n

“This is the first time in Australia that a mobile network is able to offer such a service,” said Domenic Carosa, destra’s CEO. “3 mobile is adding genuine value to its customer base by making available and simplifying unlimited downloads of high quality digital music to mobile handsets.”<\/p>\n

“Working with destra to deliver MP3.com.au on 3 mobile gives our customers access to unsigned, talented music recording artists,” said Annie Mackin, 3 mobile’s Head of Content. “The subscription service allows our customers to download as many tracks as they want from mp3.com.au’s extensive catalogue of songs as often as they want each month.”<\/p>\n

destra Media is hosting and managing the service and has developed the user interface and experience for 3 mobile customers.<\/p>\n
