iTunes, eh?
iTunes Europe (well, okay, UK, France and Germany) lauched the other day.
79p per song? Better (ie. cheaper) than Napster, but still not great. As Will pointed out to me the other day, a whole bunch of albums are only partially available which means a) you can't but them as a whole album for £7.99, you have to buy the tracks individualy which often works out as more (getting dangerously close to CD prices) and b) it's just going to encourage people to fire up KaZaa to find those missing tracks.
*sighs*
LemurGene? Now that's what I'm talking about...

Hmmm, try searching the store for ‘tenacious d’ (my brother was looking for them, not me. honest). You’ll get a match with one ‘partial album’ which you can only buy song by song and not as one block of songs. How many songs in this ‘partial album’? 20. Total cost of buying all the songs? £15.80. So in this case, getting fleeced by the rip-off merchants on Oxford Street would probably feel like finding a bargain when compared to the iTunes store.
