iTMS arrives down under. Finally!

1. Well we only waited two and a half years. iTMS has arrived, and after getting over the sticker shock ($1.69 a song, $16.99 for most albums and $3.39 for video) I was pleasantly surprised — I’m gonna lose a bit of money here. I get access to some relatively obscure American bands that was otherwise a pain to import CDs for, and there are some good Oz rock exclusives, like Spiderbait doing an exclusive live recording for iTMS. I can’t complain about half priced albums, but it doesn’t feel as though they priced it to compete with pirates. I’d love to see what Apple’s margins are here, and I have a feeling the major labels are doing very well.
