Sprint Launches Music Service

Sprint customers who get tired of chatting on their mobile phone will soon have the option of listening to music instead through a new mobile music service announced today. The new service is a feature of Sprint's Multimedia Services, a subscription service launched earlier this year that also includes streaming video. Customers will be able to choose from a variety of commercial free music channels, including R and B and Hip-Hop, Hit List, 80s, 90s, Country, and Rock.

Music will be provided through a partnership with Music Choice, which offers music services through cable and satellite systems. Sprint customers will pay an extra $5.99 for the service, which will also be offered as part of other entertainment and data service packages. At present, only a single Sprint handset, the Sanyo MM-7400, is compatible with the the Music Choice service, but Sprint plans to introduce additional devices that use the service in the near future.
