Verizon Wireless Inc. launched a new program Monday that will let customers download as much music as they want from Rhapsody online music service for $15 per month.
The service will compete with MP3 downloads provided by other companies such as Cupertino, Calif.-based Apple Inc.'s (NASDAQ: AAPL) iTunes.
Verizon said the new service will work with seven current handsets and three soon to be launched.
A similar subscription deal is already in place between Verizon and Napster Inc.
Rhapsody also said it is eliminating copy protection on all tracks bought from its online music store, which will enable them to be played on a variety of devices, including iPods.
Verizon is in the final months of contructing a a new $54 million regional headquarters at Duke Realty's Aspen Corporate Center near Cool Springs.
The 180,000-square-foot facility will have room for 1,300 employees when it is finished in the fall.
