Apple has said that it wanted to offer an iTunes store available to anyone, however, the major record companies denied Apple that option.
"Apple has always tried to operate a single pan-European iTunes stores accessible by anyone from any member state. But we were advised by the music labels and publishers that there were certain legal limits to the rights they could grant us," its statement said.
Currently, consumers in Germany, or in France, pay 99 cents, euro, for a downloaded song, but those in Great Britian must pay 79 pence ($1.56).
How about some free music?
At National Geographic you can listen to music from around the globe.
I don't speak any other languages, so I am unable to appreciate the lyrics. I can only enjoy the artist's voice, and the rythms and instruments, but I especially liked Souad Massi at the National Geographic site. Many other artists are featured and it's a nice way to get a taste of different sounds....
Lots of samples, enjoy...
