iTunes for Canada now accessible

Canadian users now have access to a localized version of Apple's iTunes music store, though no official announcement has been made by the computer company.

After slightly missing a self-imposed deadline, Apple late Wednesday evening quietly launched its iTunes music download service in Canada.

Several Mac users discovered the store after seeing a "Canada" option appear under the iTunes Music Store "Country" selection menu.

The majority of the content present in the store appears to be priced at $0.99 Canadian.

It's remains unclear if Apple has officially launched the store.

On Wednesday, the company officially acknowledgment a delay in opening the Canadian music store for business, but told the press to expect an announcement 'very soon.'

I'm in the Canadian store, and pricing seems a bit wacky. The new 37 track Depeche Mode remixes collection is priced at $9.99 (C$). Haven't bothered trying to take advantage of this price, but this can't be right.

<edit>

Well, now it's gone. I guess there are some database issues.

Patience is not a virtue on this forum.

Now we will have the complainers.......not enough songs.........not the right artists.........price differentials.........etc.

Don't we have fun!

In due time all will be back to normal.......except.......when will the Japanese store open!
