Independent Online Distribution Alliance

A month after irking part of the independent recording community by launching its online music service mostly with major labels, MySpace Music has made a deal to almost double the amount of indie tunes available through the service.

In an agreement announced Thursday, the San Francisco-based Independent Online Distribution Alliance -- a digital distributor of tunes for several thousand labels -- will make its library of more than 1 million tracks available through MySpace Music.

Nokia, the world's leading mobile phone maker, said Thursday that it had added EMI and smaller record labels to its "free" music package to challenge Apple's dominance in the digital music market.

Nokia said Carphone Warehouse, the exclusive retailer in Britain for the first mobile phone to include the "Comes with Music" package, will sell it for pound(s)129.99, or $230, starting Oct. 16.
