Vodafone has added yet another label to their music download service which is DRM-free, and this time we’re talking about Warner music. In case you don’t remember, Vodafone already has agreements with Sony Music, EMI, and Universal Music Group.

Vodafone representative comments:

The response to the DRM-free offering in all the markets where it has launched has been incredibly enthusiastic. Our customers love music and they love the flexibility that DRM-free on mobile gives them.

Don’t limit yourself to the usual FM transmitters when it comes to playing your iPods through the car head unit of your vehicles. Thanks to Sinjimoru, there is a new and stylish way of docking and enjoying the stored music you have for in-car mobile enjoyment.

Sinjimoru introduces the iDeck, a car-pack suited for people who are fond of listening to tunes on their iPods. The iDeck actually comes in three parts: a car-pack delivering music through a magnetic head in the cassette deck of a car, a cradle for an iPod, and a charger supplying electricity through the cigarette lighter jack.

To date, the iDeck has sold over 3,000 units since its launch in April of this year. The iDeck is slated to be in attendance at the CIETEC2009 in Tokyo this coming October and the CES2009.

We have an interesting rumor for you and you will definitely love it if you’re a Windows Mobile fan. Microsoft has filed a trademark application for “OneApp” which should offer you “online retail store services facilitating the download of computer software for use on mobile phones, media players and other portable electronic devices.”

In the mean time we’re still waiting for Microsoft to make available that Marketplace. And since we hear that Microsoft is interested in also launching a music store we’ll be waiting for that too. Can we assume that OneApp will eventually offer apps, music and various similar content and take over any current Microsoft app store initiative? In other words, will the Marketplace be transformed into the OneApp which will subsequently be made available to virtually almost any connected gadget in your home? Nobody knows yet! And Microsoft isn’t saying a lot. All we have is a 6-letter word: OneApp.

Does this surprise anyone? Well, it is a bit surprising as this move comes a little late in the game. Microsoft is about to launch a music store/service for the Zune and possibly the Xbox. According to Peter Bale, the executive producer of MSN, Microsoft is “looking at launching a music streaming service imminently.” The new service should be available sometime in August and it’s apparently going to be similar to Spotify. Will cell phone users be able to use it too?

The service will probably be offered for free as long as users agree to listen to ads every half hour. Is Microsoft going to reinvent the whole iTunes concept? Nothing is clear so far and we’ll be looking forward to see Steve Ballmer explain this to the crowd.

Express yourself through sound. For most social networking members, a certain tune would be more than able to sum up their personality and how they want to be known. With most people carrying a Twitter or Facebook account, here is something you can add to your account.

The app is the SongFeed for iPhones. Share what you are listening to and see how people would react. Music is something most of us love and share and at times, you just never know which tunes are worth listening to at the moment. Now, rather than ask, you can simply share and let your friends and network know what you are listening to.

To Download SongFeed, simply go to The SongFeed Download Page.

Play a song, and the application picks up on the song that is playing, as well as the songs album and artist. If the user likes the song, all they have to do is hit a single “Tweet This Song” button, and their message is sent out to potentially hundreds of people who will know the song they’re listening to.

Now here is quite the unforunate story — Apparantly, a woman by the name of Jammie Thomas was found guilty back in 2007 for sharing 24 songs over Kazaa and was then ordered to pay $222,000.

Well, the woman was put on trial yet again this year at a Minnesota court and was again found guilty but this time ordered to pay an astounding $1,920,000 in damages. Thats a full $80,000 per song!

To stand unbiased on the situation, Mrs. Thomas was issued a cease-and-desist letter by the RIAA, which she refused to do. So remember boys and girls, crime never pays, even if it involves the non-violent act of downloading a couple songs.
