Mobile music downloads may seem like the next big thing, but according to a recent survey, most people don’t really care about mobile MP3 downloads.

The Jupiter research study found that disinterest and unnecessary hurdles have led to people being less than excited about mobile music downloads. Of 1800 people surveyed, 66% said that there was nothing phone carriers could do to make them want to download music to their cellphones.

Just 28% said they were interested in ringtone downloads and only 14% said they wanted to download music to their phones. This obviously won’t stop phone carriers and record labels from pushing ahead with the sale of mobile music downloads, but it makes for interesting reading to think that people might not care.

The price of mobile downloads was cited as the main reason for shunning the technology. Other problems included how difficult it is to download music to a phone.
