Horrah, Amazon have finally announced that they are to expand their MP3 store to work outside of the USA. Although no explicit time line has been specified the hints are that it will happen in the next year.  given the demographics I’d imagine that the European stores will be the next to receive the MP3 store.

The press release  can be found here.

The real excitement for this announcement is potentially very interesting opportunity exists with Amazon, that being their infrastructure for the Marketplace means that very small indie artists and labels could play on a fairly level playing field with the major labels.
