For You Sir, 79p

Posted in Music by Diggory

MacWorld UK iTunes announcement coverage.

“every song in the store costs 79 pence, and albums cost £7.99″

Nice! I expected 99p / £9.99

[update] - I’ve been looking around the store and am rather disappointed by the selection so far - here’s a list of artists I went looking for and couldn’t find:

Squarepusher, Underworld, Ash (2 tracks), Oasis, Orbital, Adam Freeland, Basement Jaxx (1 remix), Elbow, Lemon Jelly, The Prodigy (only One single), Unkle.

Of course, that’s only my personal tastes - but other UK people on the MacNN Fora appear to be finding the same lack of artists.

Ho hum….. I can only hope that like the US store it will expand over the coming years - and more labels will get involved.

[update2] -
Singing Badger, Badger, Badger

I’ve made my first iMix.

There are a lot of artists listed in the store that have no tracks up - this maybe because of a breakdown in negotiation with AIM. I hope that gets sorted soon.
