Nokia and Microsoft are teaming up again, this time announcing support on Nokia phones for Windows Media Audio files (in DRM and unrestricted varieties), as well as MPEG-4 AAC support, via a new media player software from Loudeye. That’s all part of a new “white box” solution from Nokia and Loudeye which is aimed at companies interested in starting their own music download service—something I’m not entirely sure consumers want (do we really need a thousand different music services with a thousand different licensing contracts?)

The upshot, though, is that a lot of the DRM-locked music you’ve already purchased via Napster and the like should work on future phones.
