Puretracks DRM-free music store hitting BlackBerry platform in April

by Darren Murph, posted Mar 12th 2008 at 8:58AM

For BlackBerry users feeling a bit left out of the mobile music store revolution, take heart, as Puretracks is running to the rescue. Utilizing the spotlight at SXSW in Texas, the aforementioned outfit is showcasing its newly developed, DRM-free music store and service for the BlackBerry platform. Reportedly, the system was crafted with partner Magnet Mobile Media, and it's slated to function on the Pearl, Curve and 8800 series mobiles. As of now, we've no idea how much the tunes will cost, but we do know that they'll be compressed AAC / AAC+ files and will be available in the US on April 1. As for future plans, the firm hopes to bring the service to Canada and "other markets," and best of all, it's even looking to "include support for WiFi capable handsets."

Wow.. Puretracks is STILL around?! I haven't used their service since 2003 or 2004 and I had problems with downloading some of their songs and their customer service was non-existent to help for the problem.
