Comes With Music is bucking the trend of the music industry by offering you a service that wants you to consume as much music as you like, without penalising you with limits or extra fees. So, is it a free for all service or is it the future of music?

Well, one recent report suggests that Nokia users love to download tracks but aren’t getting carried away with excessive downloading, which would suggest that it’s one way to beat illegal downloads.

Can you ever have too much music? This seems to be the question thrown up by an article over at The Telegraph that looks at the recent the Midem conference in Cannes and statements made by Tero Ojanpera, Nokia’s executive vice president of entertainment and communities.

The article is about Comes With Music’s (CWM) policy of allowing you to download as much music as you like for the one annual fee. This is a revolutionary move by Nokia and is seen by many as a far more appealing approach than the likes of Apple’s iTunes, for instance.

Apparently, services like CWM could see British phone users downloading as many as 2.1 billion songs a year. However, the concern is that if you give people an inch they’ll take a mile and download more than is thought fair.

Interestingly, this is something that Nokia isn’t seeing with CWM, as the article quotes Mr Ojanpera of saying “We are seeing some people downloading hundreds of tracks a month initially, but when the base expands this will be even more like a bell curve. There were some bloggers who went and downloaded a lot, but once they noticed Nokia was not doing anything, they gave up. We are not really seeing anybody who is abusing the service.”

We rather think Comes With Music is the simply the market changing to suit the way we live our lives and Nokia is pushing the service in a way that meets user needs.

Are you using Comes With Music and downloading more than you thought you would? Or, are you one of those who aren’t hoarding their music? Found any new music you wouldn’t otherwise have tried? Let us know in the Comments section below.
