So those of you in the UK, France, and Germany awoke this morning to the wonderful world of the iTunes Music Store. The blurb from MacMinute: Quote:
What do our European members think of today's announcement? |

Canada is different. Seeing as Napster isn't available in Canada yet either I would bet the Canadian RIAA is holding up the releases.
Now I'm pissed. The new Beastie Boys albums is E 9.99, but $14.85 in the states. What the fuck is up with that? A note about the links. In order to view the albums in iTunes, you must be in the German store for the first link and the US store for the second link. To change your store settings, go to the bottom of the iTMS homepage and select from the pop up menu. And of this post, it looks like only one song has been bought at the German store. |

I'm just glad that Apple has released the iTMS in countries other than the US. I haven't heard much about it lately I was beginning to worry that it would just fade away like every other chance Apple has had in the past.
Lets just hope it can keep its market share going. WARNING: Do not let Dr. Mario touch your genitals. He is not a real doctor. |

Yeah, 79p will do for me. Still trying to get over the sight of Steve Jobs on British soil. Good coverage on Sky News today. Even heard the kids talking about it at the school where I teach this afternoon. News travels quickly.

That 700,000 song mark that MacMinute reported, well, Apple seems to be playing with numbers again. The MacObserver is reporting that the 700K number is a cumulative total for all of the three stores European stores. The UK store is the largest with 300-400K songs. Numbers for France and Germany were not mentioned. Napster claims on their site to offer over 500K songs, but there is, naturally, no break down of what is buyable and what is only available to subscription.
The US store is going to break 1 million tracks by the end of the year, we could have 3x as many songs as our EU counterparts. :wow: |
