According to a presentation at MWC 2012, Nobex did not have the exact stats on the growth of their app with BBM integration and viral distribution.On the flip side when an update it released they usually see an increase of about 10%, but this time they saw an increase of 52%!

We first told you about the BBM Music App, RIM was working on, Then yesterday we recived more confirmation on the app (RIM Inking Major Labels for Blackberry Music App?). Today we now have even more info to share with you:

• Users will have to download the new standalone BlackBerry music app from App World
• Once installed, there *should* be a free trial (may vary by country/carrier – but expect a month free)
• Once the free trial expires, the service will cost $5/mo.
• With the app installed, you can choose up to 50 songs of your choice. Apparently the catalog selection is pretty good!
• From there, you invite your contacts via BBM, etc. to also download the app if they don’t have it and join your music sharing network (invited contacts must pay the $5/mo. also to take part and remain part of the service).
• From there, you can listen to not only the 50 songs you’ve selected), but any of the 50 songs from your music sharing network. So if you have 20 contacts, you’ll have access to 1,000 other songs in addition to your 50. We’re not sure yet if there’s a limit to how many people you can share with, but essentially the more people in your music sharing group the more music you’ll have access to.

It looks like our source was right on the head:

• The music app will be coming soon after App World 3.0 is released
• BBM Music will be loaded on all new devices
• Social Music Sharing using BBM
• You share songs with others on BBM
• RIM will be setting up their own music library
• It will be a paid subscription and cost around $4.99 a month
• Get 50 songs and then share them and you will be able to use 50 songs from others on BBM

If you’re like me and like your music, you are going to love this! THE streaming radio app for BlackBerry, Nobex Radio Companion, has been updated to version 2.2.9, with some added features.

The user can search for a city or country, set a sleep timer (for those forgetful Nerds), and even get song lyrics. The UI looks sick with the purple shades. You can even post what you’re listening to on your Facebook Wall.
Purchase Nobex Radio Companion in the NerdBerry Store for a $3.99 monthly subscription.
