This report comes from Slashdot. It looks like MusicStation Max is shaping up to be a hot new music-download service. The idea behind it is that exclusive cellphone handsets from LG will come with subscriptions to this music-download service at no extra charge.

The great thing about these music downloads is that they come with the full support of the big four record labels. The tracks will not be DRM-free, but when you get your music downloads delivered to your cellphone, they’ll also be downloaded to your computer.

The potential impact on mobile music downloads is huge. At the moment, the whole concept of getting music downloads to your cellphone is still in its infancy, but the technology is there that this will be a major industry in the near future. Look out for further announcements to come during the year.

Nokia’s rival service doesn’t look quite as exciting as MusicStation Max.
