New Online Music Service For Australia

Posted by timothy on from the where-music-flows-clockwise dept.

arb writes "Destra Music is the first online music retailer to open its doors in Australia. Currently their catalogue offers over 100,000 tracks priced from 99c (Australian) and they hope to have half a million tracks available by mid next year. Purchasers will be able to burn the songs to CD and copy them to portable devices. The tracks are available for purchase through online partners, such as JB Hi-Fi and Sanity Online. In what is believed to be a first for online music retailers, vouchers will be available in stores so you will not need a credit card to purchase online." Sounds like competition for Bigpond Music's download service, and also dealing with DRM'd .wma files.

    How is the opening of a new music service a nail in the riaa's coffin? This post is totally offtopic, and yet it gets modded up to +4 just because it bashes the riaa. Please smoke crack after moderating.
