A new iTunes compatible music store

A small french firm called Nupha has just created a Mac compatible Music Store , specialized in independent labels. You can buy music in the AAC (Mac) or WMA (Windows) format from any country including Europe and the USA. A simple kit to install enables iTunes to read the AAC file with nupha specific DRM. The advantage is that this kit works with OS 9 as well as OS X. The price is 0,99 € (tax included) for a song and 8,99 € (tax included) for a whole album; currencies accepted are the dollar, the British Pound and the Euro.
It should also be possible to transfer the musique to mp3 players, we imagine after conversion as it is possible to burn it on CDs too.
For now, the site is overloaded, but we'll tell you more about this service as soon as we'll have tested it.
It is thus the 2nd Mac compatible Music Store in the US after Apple, and the 1st ''for the rest of us'' (i.e. the rest of the World ;-). Let's hope that this will motivate the majors to help Apple launch the iTMS in Europe ASAP...
