Record label EMI yesterday publicly announced it is in talks with Nokia to have music from its catalog offered through Nokia's new "Comes with Music" initiative that is to be offered on select Nokia phones.

First announced last December, the Comes with Music program allows consumers who just purchased a Nokia phone to have access to a music catalog of millions of songs through a one year subscription plan.

If the companies are able to forge a deal, EMI will join Universal Music Group, which is currently the only record label signed up to Comes with Music. Nokia reportedly is negotiating with other major labels to have their artists come to the service, but a sticking point is the unique subscription model.
