yah it will be nice to have it fully intergrated with your device adding universal search and what not , as well with the locker feature i can access on the any computer, or on my berry or on the playbook. thats actually why i havent bought anything from the music store on my playbook, becuase i want to be able to access it on the phone too
Just go over to beta zone and download it. It does sync with the Playbook music store and BMM Music, and is supposed to be able to store your music on the 'cloud'.
Its actually pretty smooth, although I only downloaded it some 30 minutes ago. Can't wait for the video store!

It doesnt show in any of my beta zone accounts yet.
This is as good a mobile music store as iTunes is, and the integration features (including sharing links via Facebook or BBM) are a real enhancement.
One of the little details that seems to get neglected in all the doom-and-gloom talk about RIM is just how good BBM is, and how cool the integrated apps are. Probably, not many users are taking that much advantage of them yet, but the whole social feeds infrastructure seems promising. This is just another clever use of it.
