Nokia today announced that its Comes With Music service is now live in Singapore, making it the first market in Asia where it will be available, after the service was launched in the United Kingdom last October.
Local music lovers will now be able to enjoy unlimited downloads* of million of free tracks from Nokia's online music store for the cost of a Comes With Music enabled device over a year.

People can choose from estimated four million tracks on the local Nokia Music Store catalogue, comprising a diverse range of major and independent labels carrying both international and local content across genres from jazz to blues, to hip hop, soul, funk, pop, indie, grunge and even kids and soundtracks from movies.
