Omnifone offering unlimited music downloads

Omnifone has plans to allow UK mobile phone users to download as much music as they want as part of their monthly contracts. That alone is pretty cool, however the fact that you get to keep the music if you change your contract at any time in the future is even cooler.

The service will be available initially only on LG phones and will be called Music Station Max. It will allow users to download an unlimited amount of music via the 3G network directly to their phone and then sideload the downloaded music to a computer where they can create the usual playlists, you can also share preferences with friends who are also using Omnifone’s software.

The main drawback at the moment is that only Universal has signed up, but word is the other three major labels are expected to sign soon.
