Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: rhythmbox-ubuntuone-music-store
I live in New Zealand, thereby I get the "world store" by default.
To test out the music store, I searched for these bands, who happen to
be some of the biggest bands in the "world" and also some of my
favourite artists.
Dave Matthews Band
Muse
U2
Eagles
Red Hot Chili Peppers
But alas, none of these artists can be found in the world store.
Just because I live in New Zealand doesn't mean I don't listen to Muse.
Dave Matthews Band happens to be very popular in Australia too. I'm sure
U2 is popular everywhere.
I'm an end-user, I want to get the music that I like and I cannot do
that, therefore it's a bug. End users don't care about regions or record
label licensing or whatever else, they just want to get the music they
like and if they cannot do that, they won't use the store.
Couple that with the fact that everything is offered in Euro for some
reason, and that Rhythmbox starts minimized to the tray (I spent about
30 seconds trying to work out why it hadn't started before I saw the
icon) and overall I'm pretty disappointed.
I'm sure the artist support is great in Europe or the USA, but the fact
is that everyone doesn't live in Europe and the USA!
