Sony Music partners with the new range of Sony Xperia Smartphones to launch “Sony Music Jive” – music service that allows consumers to download and stream music from the Sony Music Catalog of 2 million songs, for free! Sony Music will look at innovations like premiering content exclusively for Sony Xperia customers for streaming and download and the first one will be a single from the soundtrack of the movie “Ek Thi Daayan”, featuring Emraan Hashmi, Konkona Sen Sharma, Huma Qureshi and Kalki Koechlin with music by Vishal Bhardwaj.
To meet the increasing demand for easy and legitimate access to music, Sony Music India has launched a unique first-of-its-kind service – Sony Music Jive. Differentiating itself from Nokia Music Unlimited store (offers only download), Saavn (streaming only) and iTunes (consumer paid download), Sony Music Jive allows Xperia consumers to download and stream music for free.
