Because there weren’t enough music media stores already for people to download music from, Verizon Wireless decided that it’s just about the time for them to follow the trend and have an online store of their own. Because when you are the United States’ largest wireless telecommunications network, you must be as “fashionable” as possible.



This is why the American carrier announced a couple of days ago the release of the Verizon Wireless Media Store, a place from where customers can download MP3 music from. This way, once the songs are downloaded, the songs they love most in the whole world, they can be played on any device that is compatible with the MP3 format file.



Because people are usually interested on how much they will have to spend on such a service (completely understandable, if we think about it), let me tell you that the prices won’t be the same for all of the songs that will be available in the new media store. This means that criterions such as popularity or the size of the track will be those to decide the price.



Anyway, you’ll be able to download a song for a price from 69 cents (this is for classics, they say) to 99 cents (this one, on the other hand, is for standard tracks) or $1.29. The latter is, of course, for popular hits (I wonder who decides which songs are popular and which are not) and for new releases.



Verizon Wireless says that there will be a very wide variety of tracks, more than 5 million, and that they will be DRM-free. All of them. Actually, they already are. If you want, you can go to the Verizon Media Store and download music online right now.
