Customers can pay their downloads by credit card, using their online banking accounts or by adding the payments to their monthly cellphone bills.
Tracks are first downloaded to users' computer and trasferred to cellphone from there using a cable provided with 5510 and HDR-1. Sound quality matches with regular MP3 tracks.
