Till now, the service has received rather mixed reviews. A lot of people are immensely impressed with the service where as almost an equal lot of people are immensely angry on the service. But nonetheless, a lot of them are using the service. Apple has now started sending emails to early adopters who had registered for the notifications that the service is now available in their countries as well. The list has now grown from just United States to include Canada, Australia, Europe, and the United Kingdom.

Users in Canada, Australia, and Europe are reportedly receiving emails from Apple that iTunes Match is officially available in their areas. Prices for each region are being reported as such:

    • “Australia – AU $34.99/year
    • Canada – CAD $27.99/year
    • Europe – €24.99/year
    • UK – £21.99/year”
There have been reports that users in these countries have been finding it difficult to sign up for the service. Many users have reported this on forums on the internet. 9to5mac has gone ahead to say that the international roll out of the service itself is a mistake by Apple. One user even claimed he received an email from Apple regarding the slipup.
But nevertheless, if you live in one of the aforementioned areas and have been waiting for iTunes Match to hit, it’s worth trying. You can access it by opening up iTunes (10.5.1 or later ) and selecting the iTunes Match tab on the lefthand side (hint: it’s under iTunes Store)
