Aside from buying apps in the App
Store locally, Pinoy music lovers can now download music files from iTunes
store. Apple has finally launched iTunes in the Philippines together with 11 other
Asia Pacific countries. You can now support your favorite artists through
buying their singles, album and movies legally. iTunes PH also has an
interesting page for our very own Original Pilipino Music.
Other Asia Pacific countries that
received their localized iTunes are Brunei, Hong Kong, Singapore,
Taiwan, Cambodia, Laos, Macau, Malaysia, Thailand, Sri Lanka and Vietnam. Users
in these regions will have access to over 20 million songs from local and
international artists, as well as vast array of apps and movies. Apple is also
said to launch iTunes in iCloud service within these countries together with
iTunes Match.
Items in iTunes PH are still
priced in USD, but it is interesting enough to know that singles and albums are
cheaper compared to iTunes US prices. You have to have an active credit card
billed in a Philippine address and an iTunes PH account for you to purchase
items.
