New Music Service Targets Mobile Devices

"Introducing Didiom - a free and fun way to search, sample, buy and download music - wherever, whenever, at truly competitive prices. What's more, you can also place bids for the music you want and share individual song picks with friends and family - right from your wireless. Because our participating music stores already have vast music libraries, there was no need to build our own. And because there's a growing number of capable wireless devices and high-speed wireless networks out there, we didn't have to build any of those either. This represents a significant savings we pass on to our users. You only pay for the songs you download. Rather than maintaining our own giant music library, Didiom takes the music request you send to us from your wireless, searches participating online music stores, tells you what we find, and quickly delivers the music files over the air once you've purchased them. And because Didiom is currently designed to work on Windows Mobile wireless devices that utilize high-speed networks such as 3G and Wi-Fi, you use your wireless and your internet access at your convenience. Once you've downloaded Didiom's sleek application for your Windows Mobile wireless, you're ready to explore the world's bustling mobile music marketplace through a handful of intuitive icons. And when you're ready to download music, you can set up a free Didiom account - if you haven't already. There are never any memebership or service fees, and you only pay for the music you download. That's Didiom for you."



I don't normally do this, but I think Darius summed it up perfectly:

A New York-based company known as Didiom has just launched a self-titled free-to-use service that taps into a number of participating music stores (selection is a little thin at the moment) and allows you to preview, purchase, and send music from your Windows Mobile-based device. Content is delivered in MP3, WMA, or WMA Pro, with the wireless version at 64kbps and the PC version at 128kbps to 320kbps (you have the option of buying one or both versions at the checkout). Because the service is hot off the press, there are a couple of special promotions to help get you started. If you're one of the first 1000 users to register an account, you'll be given a coupon code for a free music download. Additionally, if you purchase ten tracks, you'll get one free. Both promotions end on May 1.

All in all, this seems like an interesting service, though it may take a while for it to take off (if at all). If you get around to using it, let us know how it works. Click here to access the official site, or here if you're on a mobile device.
