Amazon announced today that their DRM-free online MP3 music store would be going international later this year.
Currently only available inside the US, the Amazon MP3 store offers over 3.3 million songs from more than 270,000 artists encoded as DRM-free, 256kbps MP3 files with individual songs priced from 89 - 99 cents and albums priced from $5.99 - $9.99.
That will change later this year when the Amazon MP3 store goes global.
“We have received thousands of e-mails from Amazon customers around the world asking us when we will make Amazon MP3 available outside of the U.S. They can’t wait to choose from the biggest selection of high-quality, low-priced DRM-free MP3 music downloads which play on virtually any music device they own today or will own in the future,” said Bill Carr, Amazon.com Vice President of Digital Music. “We are excited to tell those customers today that Amazon MP3 is going international this year.”
Here’s the full press release if you’re curious.
No target date was announced, but at least we know its coming.
