To this end, you can help me out, if you fancy it. First, of course, if

Wot, no iTunes plus? :p

Well done that man. :)

Is iTunes plus a thing? I don't understand these kids.

And thanks, Glenn!

It's higher quality encoding, no DRM, and no restrictions on use. It's also 99p per track instead of 79p per track, and only available with iTunes 7.2. Info here.

I want the use of my songs restricted, dammit!

[veggiesu]

You're in luck then :-)

Also, there's a couple of mixes associated with your EP now - best you get rating.

I agree. Pay attention, everyone.

One is already listed against Richard Hawley's latest effort. You decide if that's a good or bad thing :-p

It's encryption free and twice the bitrate. Songs cost €1.29 as opposed to 99c for standard tracks (dunno what the UK store charges). I don't know if non-label artists can sign up for it, but I don't see why they shouldn't be allowed to.

I infiltrated iTunes via TuneCore. They didn't offer me the option, I don't think, but that may or may not be to do with their service rather than Apple's.
