iTunes Music Store is live in Australia

Oh man i feel like tossing my ipod in the bin,no itunes for NZ how hard can it have been to include us,i'm sure most record companies here are probably told what to do by there Oz counterparts anyway,well i'll have to continue with allofmp3.com

I have a good write up on my site about the subject, with a few interesting points. http://360countdown.com/thoughts.html

Sony BMG have still held out on signing up with Apple for the Oz iTunes store.

Hurrah! Yep, it's here, working and looking good. Finally, 10 months after buying an ipod I can use itunes to buy some music. It has been commented that it's pricy, but it's still a bit cheaper (and a lot more convenient) than going out and buying the CD.

Interesting to see a NZ band on there though...

I can confirm the store is live and working here in Sunny Sydney. Was a little confused at first - the country drop-down had defaulted to Austria and I was wondering why everything was in German... No Tv downloads unfortunately (so no new episoded of "Lost" for us), although the music videos and Pixar stuff is there. The store seems a little "light" for downloadable content. Oh yes - $1.69aus for a song, $3.39aud for a music video - ouch that's a nasty conversion rate...

Cool, but what about BRAZIL? GOD JOBS

Arrrgh, no New Zealand store? I even tried tricking it into thinking NZ was a state of Australia -- no luck! :( Hurry up Apple!

Dear Apple, Please, PLEASE, don't forget we exist, too. Signed, Latin America
