Until recently, if you wanted to get tunes onto your Sony Ericsson Walkman phone, you had to do it the old-fashioned way of downloading existing songs from your PC. Well, now you don't have to, thanks to Sony Ericsson's new mobile music space called M-Buzz. M-Buzz will be easily accessible via an enhanced version of Sony Ericsson's PlayNow service (the current PlayNow service is used mostly for downloading ring tones and not full-length songs), and serves as a gateway to new Sony Music artists. It will initially showcase a limited number of breaking new artists, where not only can you download their songs, but also listen to interviews, watch videos, and even check out their concert schedules. The first few phones that will have M-Buzz support are the W850 and W950 Walkman phones, scheduled for release in Europe, Asia, and Latin America.
