EMI Music is moving closer to joining a bundled content offering by Nokia, slated for release during the second half.  The Nokia concept, called Comes With Music, is being spearheaded by Universal Music Group as part of a larger content bundling initiative called Total Music.  Nokia will package songs within its devices at retail, and share a percentage of the device price with labels.

The latest information started surfacing on Wednesday.  "We want to be part of it," EMI Finland chief Wemppa Koivumaki told a news conference attended by Reuters.  "I believe strongly that when it launches we will be there, with a full offering."  Looking forward, a number of details remain unresolved or unannounced on the Nokia play, including specifics related to device pricing, specific devices involved, and content protection.
