yea every time i try to purchase, it asks me too verify my information

i dont think its fully up and running yet!
 
I want to see Europe do 500,000 songs in one day. Wouldn't that just blow the shorts off of OD2 and Napster (considering that is all the songs they sold in one year...excluding Napster for most of it of course).

Come on Europeans...spend some Euros!!!
 
any one see the weekly free song? I want to try that one on the usa store but dont see a free link on the uk store anywhere

today's top songs:
1. up up and away
Bebel Gilberto

...and that's it

:)

Er considering it has only just opened, then the first song downloaded will be the top song, won't it?

Won't be for long!
 
I'm all signed up! Only trouble is, each time I hit the home button the bloody country warning shows up (tho' clicking OK gets me through to the UK store)... Hopefully just a minor annoyance that they'll soon sort out...

Also, I had to trash my iTunes prefs - I think trying to sign up to the US store once may have messed with things in the past...

The track selection is not the same :(

Just try to search for "Opeth"... some idependent metal band from Finland.
You will see that in Germany, you won´t find anything, but in the US store they are there... sucks to be in EU :(

Edit: The free song of the week doesnt work here...
 
Well, iTMS Europe is a fact, but only for three countries, UK, France and Germany. €0.99 per track. 79 pence in UK
 
www.apple.com/uk

It's up

They've changed the "Switch" Tab to "iTunes + iPod"

Looks exactly like US store now

*Correction - they've ditched Switch altogether

Any news on free song of the week thing? Do we get it over here?

Despite the fact I agree, I don't think this is the place to take swipes at people's personal music tastes... :cool:

Blessing in disguise that one of the worlds biggest bands is missing. They are from the UK but on the US not UK stores what kind of crap is that, how are they supposed to compete with Napster with such crap lineup?

I think there are teething problems. No way are there 700,000 tracks on the site at the moment. It feels more like 700 ! A movie soundtrack I wanted to buy it present on the US site but not here. Some of the links in the panes on the home page don't work, if you scroll the panes you get blanks, and the free song is not accessible....
 
damn!

I live in Luxembourg.
Cant buy anything.
I live 15 miles from Germnay AND France and I can't take part.
Altough I have got a bankaccount in France.
Will that work?
 
Anyone else notice a new iPod/iTunes ad mentioned as well, on the bottom left of the uk iTunes page, shame im on dial up so it's taking ages to see!

Anyone else seen it? Any good?

Looks like they couldn't care less about the Switcher campaign now and want to put all their efforts into iPod/iTunes... I find that a bit sad :(

Not sure - maybe they'll add it to the Apple main bar (a la US website)
I do think they've ditched it. Mind you they are concentrating on making **** hot gear that anyone with any sense would buy.
11 months ago I bought my mac and was the only one I knew with one. Now my girlfriend has an iBook and various friends have bought/are buying/aspire to buy macs. Woohoo!! Let the revolution begin (I hope!)
