All you can eat music

In the US, some of the biggest tech buzz of the year has been generated by Spotify, an online music service that lets you stream an unlimited amount of songs via the internet each month, for a set fee, rather than buy tracks or albums individually on the iTunes model.

Last month, a similar service was launched in Australia, called Bandit.fm.

Now, Bandit.fm is set to migrate across the Tasman with a New Zealand launch set for late November.

The new service will let you stream (that is, play but not save) an unlimited number of songs each month for $9.95, payable in advance by credit card.

That is a great move, and the pricing seems very reasonable.
