Following in the footsteps of the UK, Nokia Music+ is now live in the USA. The premium version of Nokia's streaming music radio service, which costs $3.99 per month, allows for unlimited skips, unlimited downloads (of music 'Mixes'), higher quality streaming and downloads, lyrics support, and a web-app player that lets you use the service on any Internet-connected device (PC, Smart TV, tablet). 

As we noted in our story about the UK launch:

A Nokia Music+ subscription can be purchased and managed in the settings section of the Nokia Music Windows Phone app. In some cases it may be necessary to update to a more recent version (version 3.7.3 or above) of the app through the Windows Phone Store. Users will also prompted to upgrade if you run up against the limits (skips, mix downloads) while using the standard version of the service, but otherwise it's still a relatively soft sell.

A subscription is linked to a Nokia Account, not to an individual phone. This means it is possible to use the service on more than one device, and also makes it easy to keep using the service should you upgrade to a new Lumia device.

In addition:

A Nokia Music+ subscription also gives access to the mix radio functionality (radio streaming) through a web-based app. This can be used by an Internet-connected device (e.g. PC, laptop, tablet, smart TV). The HTML 5 player can be accessed through music.nokia.com by tapping on the Mixes button (you'll need to be signed into a Nokia Account and subscribed to the Nokia Music+ service to see this).

Nokia Music+ is expected to launch in additional markets over the next few weeks. Nokia has not provided a comprehensive list, but it is likely to parallel the markets in which the standard Nokia Music service is already available:

Australia, Austria, Brazil, China, Finland, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Singapore, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, UK, and USA.
