Finally Aussie music-lovers can pay to download the music they want, at $1.69 per song, and $16.99 for albums. No official annoucement has been made, but one is expect at 9am AEST at the Sebel Pier One on Sydney Harbour.

Live updates of the event can be found at APC's site courtesy of Dan Warne (also of Macworld Australia magazine) who will be in attendance at the event.

Hmm, does this mean it'll be legal to have mp3s on your mp3 player now?

Only if you have an Ipod of some sort. Apparently.

Umm, no.

Plus I can bet a million bucks they wouldn't have all the good dance music. And I don't mean the crap Top 30 stuff either.

I just checked rev and it doesn't look good. Nothing there that's not completely mainstream.

MP3 is just a format, it's the content that defines it's legality

Omg not mainstream music! Not music that appeals to the masses.. Omg whatever will we do?

its got an awesome selection of music, wiley and roledeep are two pretty obscure british artists and they are on there.

what are you guys looking for that isnt there?

Sony BMG's music

what format are they in? it isn't MP3 is it? it's AC3 or something whack, do they have any kind of play limit or any other sort of copy-protection?

No... because they're only providing DRM'd AAC :P

Is there a way to preview a song from a particular artist? I want to try listening to some I haven't heard before but I can't!! Stupid f***ing thing.

just double click on the song and it should load up the details as well as start to play a 30 second preview.
