Chris Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 Apple today launched its revolutionary iTunes Music Store in the UK, France and Germany giving music fans in those regions the same large online catalogue, à la carte pricing, free previews, one-click purchasing and downloading, and personal use rights that US users have been enjoying since April 28th 2003. The company also today announced that it will launch a European Union version of the iTunes Music Store in October of this year. “The number one online music store in the world has finally come to the UK, France and Germany,” said Apple CEO Steve Jobs. “With a huge catalogue of over 700,000 songs, breakthrough prices of just €0.99 and £0.79 per song and seamless integration with Apple’s wildly popular iPod, we think this is the digital music store that Europe has been waiting for.” The iTunes Music Store in the UK, France and Germany all feature over 700,000 songs from all five major music companies and dozens of independent record labels, including exclusive tracks from leading worldwide artists, including songs from Anastasia, Ash, The Beastie Boys, Beginner, Black Eyed Peas, The Corrs, Jamie Cullum, The Cure, The Darkness, Arielle Dombasle, Bebel Gilberto, Herbert Groenemeyer, PJ Harvey, The Hives, Indochine, Norah Jones, Keane, Bob Marley, George Michael, Eddy Mitchell, Moby, Pascal Obispo, The Pixies, Rosenstolz, Seeed, Snow Patrol and Mano Solo.
