iTunes Europe Goes Live

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the you-submitted-this-too-didn't-you dept.

Spad writes "The Register is reporting the launch of iTunes in the UK, France and Germany. "iTunes will carry 700,000 songs from the five major record labels and independents, and prices for the download service start at 79 pence or 99 euro cents per song." It's not ideal (99c is about 55p) but it's better pricing than expected. I for one will be signing up to use it."

  1. Not much on there yet... by jaytay · · Score: 5, Informative

    Well it's launched but there's not much on there at the moment and there's an awful lot of "Partial albums" consiting of just one song. Hopefully they'll be adding more tracks over the coming weeks....

    Apple also announced that the iTMStores would open all over the European Union in October.
