Qtrax is probably most famous for a PR stunt in which the service was launched without any actual music to download. However, since that time they have been able to get the necessary licensing deals in place to offer a selection of music similar to the now defunct SpiralFrog service.
Although perhaps not the most user friendly online music service available, Qtrax has continued to improve their software.
According to a schedule released last week, throughout the months of November and December Qtrax will become available in Australia and New Zealand later this week. That will be followed by a series of launches which will take it to markets including Indonesia, Taiwan, and mainland China by Christmas Eve.
