UK iTMS ONLINE - now!!
Load up iTunes - hit Music Store
If you're in the UK but viewing the USA store at the very bottom of the first page is a selection box for UK.
I hope they use Switch cards.
Trying it out now. I've waited soooooooo long for this day.

got it!
If anyone's having trouble getting to it - try to 'Sign In' and on the page where you agree to the T&Cs there's a link saying 'if your billing address is not in the United States, click here...' - follow that to change to the UK store (or wherever) so you can sign in and purchase!
woohoo!

I'm in too, but it keeps randomly switching back to the US store. Trying to grab the free downloads there, but they're listed as 79p when I add them to the cart! Nice try...

Something strange at iTunes USA
Loged onto the US iTunes music store this morning and checked out the new Beastie Boys Album and what was the "Americian" Price? £7.99 sterling. Now how was that. Still can't register myself as a buyer though.
Just quickly checked other albums there and they are also £7.99.
Price per single is £0.79p '' YES so far so good. Now only if they would let me register!!!
Check it out.

is the music library world wide? it would suck if all the countries had their own libraries (as if this hasn't been said here too many times already).

Well, I've just bought 'Night Time' by Killing Joke from ITMS UK and I'm pretty damn sure that wasn't in ITMS USA.Windowlicker said:
I'm hooked on the Music Store already!
Really disapointed
Only one Björk track!?!?
neither of Kylie's 2 last albums?!
to name just two!
Nothing here that is of interest to me, ill still be downloading elsewhere til they sort it out
the only good thing i like is the price, but it is pointless when there is nothing really to download!

i bought a track
I signed in and set up an account. Switch cards do work (well done Apple)
I bought a track at 79p - and over 128k ISDN (yeh, no ADSL here) it was down in about 3 minutes with artwork.
No problems at all.
I think the catalogue is unique to the UK. E.g. Search for "Karl Jenkins" in the USA store and get a few CDs. But the UK Store there are no tracks (despite KJ being Welsh!).
Ah well.
I'm very happy about iTMS UK! At last. (I'm using iTunes 4.6 BTW)

It seems to be one world one library in the browser but in the store many tracks are unavailable that I know were on there in the US store. You only find out when you try to open the artist homepage and it says it can't find a match.
Hopefully these cross border licensing issues will eventually be resolved. Either way I'm sure many of these are being worked on to bring them to the uk store.

Didn't VW just get slamed for restricting inter European sales? Somehow I can't see the EU being happy at Uk residents not being able to sample the delights of Maxim Le Foretier...
