Aspiro has revealed that its desktop and mobile streaming music service is available on Googles Nexus One phone and other Android handsets. The new service delivers live streaming of an extensive catalogue of music tracks via the online streaming service, the WiMP, which was beta launched last year in partnership with Norways largest retail music chain, Platekompaniet.
Millions of tracks are already available on the player from some 160,000 albums and more than 120,000 artists, from record labels including Universal, Sony BMG, EMI and Warner, as well as a host of local companies.
All the key features of the WiMP desktop service are available on the Android version, including search, playlists, favourites and discovery. Tracks can also be cached for offline listening.
The WiMP service, which is also available as a white label service for operators, is designed as a subscription service, and any music downloaded for offline listening can be accessed throughout the subscription period.
