Hi....

Thought folks might be interested in this. Obviously so you can buy tunes and play them under Tiger :)

When posting links to the Sydney Morning Herald, could every please remember to remove the "?oneclick=true" part of the URL. This stops the redirect to the annoying signup page.

Thanks

(A Mac user who certainly won't be using the store at $1.80 a track.)


If anyone is an avid reader of Appletalk.com.au, you will know that the tracks will be $1.69 each, and a few people have already signed up and bought tracks. Apple have somehow left a backdoor open into iTunes, and people have been able to sign up.

I don't mind paying $1.69 a track, if it means I save $17 on an album that has one good song and 11 fillers ;-)

That still works out to US$1.29 per track.

Minus 10% GST comes to US$1.16 per track

So we pay a US$0.17 (AUS$0.22) premium per track for living in Australia.

Thanks Apple. Can someone please pass me the KY?

Thank the "lovely" record companies we have here. I'd rather blame those who brought us Australian Idol than Apple ;-)

Seeya

Rod!
