Sony Ericsson phones to support new music service

In the days leading up to the availability of Apple's iPhone, potentially competitive mobile music services, including one from Gracenote, are hitting the market.

Gracenote announced on Thursday a new service that will become available on phones also introduced on Thursday by Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications. The service will let users search online from their handsets for artists, buy songs and ring tones, and view album art.

Gracenote can also identify songs that users are listening to on the FM radios in the phones and connect users to information about the songs and the opportunity to buy them.

The service will be available to users of the Sony Ericsson W910 Walkman phone and the K850 Cyber-shot phone, both introduced Thursday and due to be available in the fourth quarter.
