Puretracks.com Enters The Online Music Fray

Posted by timothy on from the enjoy-the-long-canadian-winter dept.

Greedo writes "Two articles, one from the CBC and one from The Globe and mail report that puretracks.com has launched, offering 99-cent (Canadian dollars) downloads for music tracks. As a Canadian who wishes Apple would get their iTunes Music Store available to non-US customers, this may be the alternative I've been waiting for. Although I think they only offer .WMV files (boo)." Check out mgoyer's " rough review" of the service.

    And I think you mean .wma, not .wmv... unless they're serving up video as well, but since I can't get to the site, I don't know ;)

    From their Help page, linked to on the home page:

    "Puretracks.com is available to Canadian residents only."

    And there was me thinking that the internet was international. Yeah, yeah, IP boundaries and all that but is it that hard to set up an international online music store?

    So they're opening up iTMS for Deutschland now? I had no idea!

    Well, actually you are referring to the iTMS voor Belgie, because it's a Dutch/Flemish inspired typo. And your humour: not dry enough for me, but it's not irritating.
