Nokia has a Music Store. It's been out in various (European) countries for ages now, and, while it's still not the ITunes that it's meant to be, for the most part it works well.
But you can't have an iTunes competitor without a good music application, so Nokia has gone ahead and created a PC Client for the Music Store, code-named "Nokia Music PC Client," a Windows (XP/Vista, sorry Win98 users) application that lets you find, organize, and download new tunes between your PC and your Nokia phone. You can also rip and burn music CDs.
Unfortunately, the PC Client is still sitting in the Beta Labs, which means less than 100% functionality. And in this case that means zero Nokia Music Store integration. Also keep in mind that the Nokia Music PC Client is only currently compatible with the Nokia N95, N95 8GB, N82, 5610 XpressMusic, and N81 models.
Anyway, It looks like a strong showing, despite the fact that the software completely ignores my mp3 album art.
