ITunes Australia Goes Live

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the no-cure-in-sight dept.

daria42 writes "ITunes Australia has finally gone live, after more than a year of waiting. Apple is holding a press conference in Sydney this morning to officially launch the service to the media, but the store has already opened. Like the Japanese ITunes store, it looks like Sony-BMG is not participating."

    Because we are "downunder" you have to invert the soundwaves so that they'll play correctly on our equipment.
