Joining Google Music China in the trend of attracting users with free content, Nokia has launched a free music service in the PRC. Users who purchase one of the eight handsets included in the 'Comes with Music' programme will get a free 12-month subscription to Nokia's music service, which provides free downloads of MP3 files from major and independent labels, Reuters said.
