iTunes Match reaches out to more international countries
Apple has formally launched the iTunes Match service in the U.K., Germany, Canada, Mexico, Australia, Ireland, and other regions. Several users noticed that within the iTunes program there was a new option that allowed them to subscribe to iTunes Match.

GarageBand ’09: What to expect
I use Garageband 08′ quite a bit, as a casual guitarist.

As expected, today Apple launched a new version of iTunes to go along with their revamped iPod line, and during the Apple Event, Steve Jobs simply could not shut up about the newest iTunes feature: “Genius.”
What Genius does is analyze the music and video in your iTunes library (provided that you opt-in to the service, that is), and recommend other music and shows you might like, based on other users with similar tastes. It’s similar to the recommendation feature used by movie rental site Netflix and online “radio station” Pandora to help users find new movies and music.
Some very interesting details (including an odd reaction to the Beatles) after the break.
Radiohead changes its mind; single tracks available on iTunes
Well it’s about time! Radiohead has finally come to its senses and has agreed to sell tracks on iTunes. Initially, they refused when Apple told them they had to sell them.
