    Hopefully it's all just a time zone thing and the announcement will spread over to the U.K tomorrow. Here's hoping :-)

    Shame. They're not great. What about FLAC and OGG?

    Update: Not in UK either

    The UK download site still hasn't been updated to version 4.0. I used a proxy server to obtain a copy of the 4.0 software from the U.S site.

    The software refused to accept my login information, which I knew was quite likely, but I just wanted to check.

    So now I've rolled back to 3.8.1.4 and shall sit quietly and wait for America to realise other countries exist.
