Apple and Universal bring Chinese pop music to the iTMS

Coinciding with the Chinese Lunar New Year, Apple and Universal are teaming up to bring
Chinese-language pop music to online music buyers for the first time in North America and Europe. Overseas Chinese, who have only had access to this music selection via a small number of limited retailers, will be able to choose from over 1000 tunes from the top Chinese artists at Universal to download via the iTMS in 15 countries.

Universal says this move represents the world's largest record company's faith in the legal download market. Very nice
- it only took a quarter of a billion downloads to inspire some faith!
