After launching 90-second iTunes song previews in the US in December 2010, Apple is now finally rolling out the 90-second previews to their international iTunes stores, after having negotiated with record labels to increase the length.
The negotiation process apparently takes longer for international markets, but it can now be confirmed that previews have increased from 30 seconds to 90 seconds in the United Kingdom, Ireland, France, Australia, Mexico, The Netherlands, Italy, Sweden, Luxembourg, Denmark, Switzerland, New Zealand and Canada.
Exciting news for international iTunes music purchasers!
