mora qualitas will launch next week on the 24th October after its launch was delayed from the spring of this year. The full mora qualitas service will start its official service on the 25th November but prior to this, a free trial will be held from the 24th October to the 24th November. If users continue to use the service after the 25th November, they will effectively enjoy mora qualitas free of charge for a maximum of 2 months when combined with the free trial period of 30 days.

Further details will be published in the mora qualitas newsletter and this will introduce the app UI and the distribution line-up. To sign up for the newsletter (in Japanese) go here.

mora qualitas have also opened a Twitter account (again in Japanese) and you can sign up here.

mora qualitas is a joint venture between Sony Music and Rhapsody International using Rhapsody’s ‘Powered by Napster’ technology. It will offer Japanese subscribers CD Quality and HiRes streaming options on launch.
