iTunes launched in nine European countries

Not exactly cheap is it to download an album, c.mon we pay for the equipment the i-pod and the computer and internet then we pay more to download the album to our players minus the case and cover booklet etc. I for one wont be paying these prices i will continue to use the internet to source cds, some great bargains can be had, and my local asda store sells most chart stuff for 8.99. Strange though to download from apple in the states its half the cost it is here in the u.k, another example of getting taken for idiots but then again again if we allow ourselves to be duped then it will never change, c.mon consumers fight back and lets get some fair pricing....

A Euro per track? Well if in USA it's $0.99 then in EU it should be €0.83. Why should European users pay more? Go Apple, stay clear of Europe, nobody will use your service.

well I came to a conclution that I might use itunes or other online music stores one day... (well unlikely anyway:) but music format for itunes should be not crippled, somethig like *flac could be, not protected and open to public. i guess it will never happen, so it is unlikely:) very unlikely indeed:) i think pices should be more affordable, not based on something stupid- for example in USA- dollar, Europe- euro and so on. It should be affordable. still I like cds, even there is only one good song. and of course not protected with some kinda crippled stuff.
