BigPond is offering 50 percent off prepaid music vouchers through Big W and Woolworths for its BigPond Music service, while Apple is selling $50 iTunes vouchers through Big W for $30 -- a 40 percent price cut. Although Apple's price cuts are smaller than Telstra's, it has the advantage that its music works on iPods, while Telstra's Windows Media-copy protected songs will only work on Microsoft-based players, notes APC.
The price cuts mean songs on iTunes will only cost $1.01 rather than $1.69, which means the pricing is actually cheaper than what people pay at the iTunes Music Store. A$1 has been buying between US$0.93 and US$0.96 for the last month or so. It's expected to climb closer to $1.
