Ovi Music On The N9 Supports Streaming Radio
We’ve known that the N9 would come with an all new version of Ovi Music very different from the clients we’ve seen on other Symbian devices. But one thing that comes as a very pleasant surprise is that the client on the N9 in-addition to a new UI, also supports streaming radio. You can browse music by genre as you would normally, but now you will also see a ‘ Play genre radio’ button there and with one tap you can have Ovi Music stream tracks from that genre.
