Nokia Ovi Player has replaced Nokia Music for PC as your central music player and integrated music score for your laptop or Nokia Booklet 3G. Last time we looked at how the music player side of things had changed. This time we looking at the Nokia Music Store side of Nokia Ovi Player. Find out how w got on with our Nokia Ovi Player review…

Music on Nokia Ovi Player is split into two parts – My Music is all about consuming what you already have, while the Store is all about getting hold of the latest tunes. That may sound a little obvious but this central premise is what makes Nokia Ovi Player a great way to build a body of music quickly.

For the most part, the Store side of things hasn’t changed. The interface still looks very much the same, with the main singles and Editor’s Choice options at the top of the page and the different genres down the left-hand side of the page.

The big change is that the music player now sits in the top right-hand corner and there is no track listing of what is queued getting in the way of your store choice. However, move your move button to the player and a drop down menu with your playlist will appear. Move the mouse away and it rolls up again.

If you’ve got Comes With Music like we have then you’ll find the signing in process is still the same. The main difference comes when you start to download music as you’ll find a download progress bar appears in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen.

What’s more, the tracks being downloaded no longer sit below the Playlist but a new dialogue box appears at the foot of the page giving you greater detail on what is being downloaded and how long there is left to carry the process out.

As with the My Music side of Nokia Ovi Player, the Store isn’t about to change the way you buy and consume music, it just makes it a great deal easier and quicker and for that, we have to commend the new app.
