iTunes Crosses the Atlantic
On June 15, Apple launched its iTunes Music Store in the UK, France and Germany, providing music fans with the same online catalog, a la carte pricing, free previews, and one-click purchasing and downloading as their North American counterparts; a European Union version will be launched in October. In its first week, more than 800,000 songs were purchased and downloaded — more than 450,000 of these were sold in the UK alone.
For £0.79 each, Mac and PC users can access more than 700,000 titles from the Big Five and numerous indies, as well as exclusive tracks from worldwide artists. For more information and a free download of the iTunes service in the UK, France and Germany, visit www.apple.com/uk/itunes, www.apple.com/fr/itunes and www.apple.com/de/itunes, respectively.
SuperSize My Download
McDonald's has teamed up with Sony Connect to offer customers who purchase a Big Mac Extra Value Meal an access code worth one free song download at the Connect music store, www.connect.com.

As the first to take a program like this across borders [France, Germany and the UK], we are achieving our goal of creating ideas that are ‘first, big, best’ in music, fashion, entertainment and sports, areas of high interest to our customers.”
