Apple And Napster Expand into EU

Apple and Napster are this week announcing separate initiatives to expand their distribution services internationally.

iTunes will launch in UK, Germany and France. Napster will unveil a partnership with NTL to offer music subscriptions to the UK cable group’s 1m broadband customers.

Independent UK: On iTunes: Individual songs are likely to cost 99p and albums less than pounds 10, to encourage “impulse” sales. Payment currently requires a credit card, though parents can buy their children vouchers to redeem online.
