Samsung Electronics, striving to make up ground on Apple's popular iPod, said on Thursday it will offer technical support to its online music partners such as Napster to help sales of its portable music players.
But the South Korean firm said it was not planning to launch its own online music download services.
"We're not interested in the online music services market but we plan to offer technical support to our partners to make their services easier and fancier and that would increase our hardware sales," Choi Gee-sung, the president of Samsung's digital media division told reporters after a meeting with analysts.
"I believe our music players are compatible with iPod but our partners have failed to provide competitive software like iTunes," Choi said.
