iTunes Store Available in Australia Very Soon

Posted by timothy on from the wendell-white-kicks-apple-butt dept.

tintub writes "New Zealander Russell Crowe has probably infuriated Apple by revealing the launch date of the iTunes store in Australia. Apparently it will be open as early as tomorrow (Thursday), selling tracks for AU$1.80 each. Personally I think this is too much, but I'm glad it's finally available in Australia. Now, when's Amazon coming?"

    From the article:

    iTunes is the only site where iPod users can legally download songs.

    Is this really the only site where iPod users can legally download songs? It's a shame that the mass media can get away with spouting complete falacies such as this :(

    There are many sites to get free, legal, mp3s from:

    In This Defiance band
    Online Tonight
    John Peel sessions

    The problem with slashdot is that most of its users were bullied and stuffed into lockers as kids!
  2. Price blah blah by danielacroft · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Why the hell does everyone think that taking the US rate and doing a currency conversion is a valid comparison in price? Do you morons think that the Australian (or other countries) record labels have the same cost structure? They're negotiating the price with the record labels people, not picking a number out of a hat and deciding that it's fine.
