Is this part of Nokia’s secret plan for world domination? Heck, they already have the bulk of the handset market in most of the rest of the world.

Says News.com.au:

Songs will cost $1.70 [AUD, or $1.58 USD] to download - just 1c more than iTunes downloads. Albums will cost $17 [AUD, or $15.80 USD] or more.

Nokia will also offer Australians a subscription package that will let customers stream as much music as they want from the website for a flat fee of $10 a month.

Nokia Music Store Australian manager Karen Farrugia said the company sold more than 146 million music-playing phones last year and was primed to take on other online music stores.
