BlackBerry now has music app

TORONTO — BlackBerry maker Research in Motion says its music-sharing application for its popular messaging service is available for downloading in the U.S., Canada and Australia.

BBM Music allows BlackBerry users to select 50 songs from a catalog of millions of tracks for their personal playlists. BBM users can share songs from that list with friends who use the instant messaging service.

RIM unveiled the service in August and has been testing it since.
