Would that get us (inside the EU) more labels? @Warlon: What I like about U1MS is that we get DRM-free files we can use off-line. That is not possible with Spotify.

Such a shame that license issues keep the rest of the world out of the content-loop. Yeah, unfortunately being based in South Africa, we got no access to any decent content from the store.

I'll go for it right now. :-) * When will it be possible to prelisten full albums? So far I have to click on each song individually. :-( * When will the "special offer" sections from 7digital be reflected in U1MS so can browser for all the nice offer at $/€ 5? * What is the advantage of having purchased music taking space from my U1 storage over buying the MP3s directly at 7digital or Amazon? They keep a separate copy of all purchased music in my account. The idea is the following: if I deleted music accidentially from U1, then it would be gone. ASAIK even changes to the purchased files (e.g. tags) are synced back to U1. The music in my locker at 7digital is protected againgst accidential deletions. Why not keeping the purchased music in separate compartment in U1 which is protected from changes and does not substract storage space? That sounds great! I’ll go for it right now. :-)

It's because the new "Ubuntu One Music Store" is not completely deployed, or there is a problem? I still have the error message “Service Temporarily Unavailable” when I click on the Music tab.

I know negociations are very difficult, including Canonical, the majors, 7 Digital, some rights management structures like Sacem etc... but it's a pity that such geographical restrictions still exist in 2012. - Even with Warner and EMI Music, which are normally fully available in all EU countries, there are strange problems : some albums of their artists are available, others are not in France, but appear in the UK store, it's very frustrating. I've opened a ticket at support [Ubuntu One #22023] and a bug in Launchpad https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox-ubuntuone/+bug/1046753 - In the new site, there are some differences between albums displayed for an artist in the Rhythmbox integrated store and Ubuntu One website (ex. for Tryo group, Ladilafe last album is missing in the new online store) Please see this PDF document with all the details : http://ubuntuone.com/7ODLYq8Bxd1qzaol5v6sS3 I hope you will be able to improve that, and I'll be happy to buy music here to support Ubuntu.

It's just a shame that 7digital are more expensive than Amazon or I'd have no reason not to use it (esp on new releases). Just like to see the same sort of set up for books & magazines. Would be a real blessing if I could pay & read a magazine from any U1 device. This looks great and a big improvement.

I like being able to browse from anywhere (browser) and purchase without having to worry about downloading it and getting into my Ubuntu system. I could find myself spending my lunch break looking to see which/how many artists are in there. Now is Ubuntu One going to focus on more than just music? For example many other file sync services have an image view for pictures uploaded or the ability to move files around the place. But this is a nice improvement and a nice promotion. Glad to see things are improving! Keep up the good work! This is nice and all.
