Ireland misses out on iTunes again

As exclusively predicted last week, Apple's expansion of the runaway-successful iTunes Music Store today has overlooked Ireland. It's a fair bet that licensing issues are the problem and it'll certainly be 2005 before we have any hope of getting access to the largest online record shop.

Apple added nine countries in Europe to the list which already included the US, Britain, France and Germany. Now in the club are Austria, Belgium, Fínland, Greece, Italy, Luxembourg (Luxembourg?!), Holland, Portugal and Spain.
