ITunes Australia Goes Live 233

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on Monday October 24, 2005 @10:35PM 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."

You know what the sad thing is? This idiot editor ScuttleMonkey picked from an obviously massive number of iTunes Australia submissions the one that doesn't write iTunes correctly.

GG SCUTTLEMONKEY! Want a free Ipod?

That's great, but I just hope it doesn't scratch easily.

The record companies. The songs are licensed for sale in one country only. Apple would love to be able to offer their entire catalog to anybody anywhere, but the record companies won't allow that. They have to negotiate completely separate licensing agreements for each country.

What, are the record companies stupid or something? ... oh, wait, nevermind.

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