ITunes Music Store launches in 4 More Countries

Paal Unanue-Zahl writes "I've just published the news in our blog, iTunes Music Store has opened in Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Switzerland. As for Australia, no dice. It seems that a record company is holding up the launch for the Aussies. We are waiting for official confirmation from Apple later on Tuesday, but purchases are possible with credit cards from Norway and the country icon shows up in the 'Select country' page. Finally."

Not unless its already in the US store. You need a billing address in the country of the store you want to buy stuff in.

Worse than that, the credit card needs to be issued in the country where you want an account.

I live in Belgium, have a credit card, but the card is not issued in Belgium - therefore Apple rejects my attempts to sign up to iTMS.

Nope. Shimatta is a Japanese expression equivalent to "dammit". The Japanese word for "shit" is kuso.

Ah, I've taught someone how to swear in another language...my day is now complete.
