    iTunes Australia Music Store — Finally

    I woke up this morning to see that the iTunes Australia Music Store has finally been launched. It's been a long time in waiting, and it looks like Apple have gone ahead without support from a major record label, Sony BMG. Hopefully they'll come around soon.

    It's a shame that some of the greatest artists are published under this label. I hope the iTunes Music Store somewhat stops a lot of piracy in Australia, but until Sony BMG get onboard I don't see that happening as there's a huge hole in the store.

    Excellent! I can't wait to get home tonight. there are so many songs i want to download and ones that the stores in the shops don't have anymore.

    Question: Can you download other songs from around the world? eg: from labels in the US? or Europe?

    so we finally know why it took so bloody long - Sony BMG.
    I despise Sony and All that they stand for. their scaredy-pants aproach to digital music has done nothing but hamper it's progress at every step.
