iTunes Match has been slowly rolling out internationally since its launch in November 2011. According to a report from MacRumors, the latest countries to receive the iCloud music service are Finland, Denmark, Norway and Sweden.
Reports from Twitter and tips sent into MacRumors reveal that iTunes users in these Nordic countries now have access to the music storage service. iTunes match allows customers to scan their personal iTunes music library and match those tracks to Apple’s entire iTunes library in the cloud. The service will scan and match tracks that purchased from iTunes as well as ones purchased or downloaded from third-party services. Once in the cloud, your music tracks can be downloaded to any of your iOS devices.
Cost-wise, these new markets are priced competitively with other European markets. In the US, iTunes Match costs $24.99 per year, while in the UK it costs £21.99 ($36 USD). In these new markets, the service costs €24.99 ($34 USD) in Finland and 249 kr ($38 USD) in Denmark, Sweden, and Norway.
iTunes Match is now available in almost all countries where Apple sells music via iTunes. Two of the largest remaining countries without iTunes match are Romania and Japan.
