MP3.com said today that it will expand its operations to Europe, by opening a site in France, Germany and in Spain covering most of the non-English speaking western countries.

"In most countries, 50 percent or more of the music that's listened to is localized", said Robertson, MP3.com's CEO, in an interview. "You'll get a lot more French bands signing up if they see there are more French consumers listening."



This is a bad sign for newly-formed alliance between European MP3.* sites trying to achieve similiar status in Europe as MP3.com has already in States.

The new sites will open without My.MP3.com service -- this time MP3.com wants to take it carefully.
