MUSIK ZWEI.PUNKT.NULL

Australia and New Zealand have become the first markets outside of the US to experience MySpace Music, which launched there today as part of its international expansion.

The service is a JV between the News Corp-owned MySpace and the local offices of the four major record labels. It also offers independent content via deals with digital aggregators IODA and The Orchard.

Consumers will be able to buy tracks and albums through MySpace Music withiTunes providing the downloads locally. Both Toyota and KFC have been named as flagship sponsors of the service in both markets.
