RIM Announces Very Limited (and Expensive) BBM Music
Monthly $5 fee to access just 50 songs
On the heels of last week’s report that RIM was in talks with major record companies to create its own cloud-based music service, the BlackBerry maker announced today that it’s launching BBM Music in hopes that BlackBerry Messenger addicts will be willing to pay for a tiny fraction of the songs available elsewhere for free.
RIM’s $4.99 monthly service allows users to stream (and store offline) a maximum of 50 songs. In order to enforce that 50-song limit, users will only be able to swap out up to 25 songs per month.
