The more I think about it, the more I like this idea...

But alas another question: For us Europeans (or any others outside of the US for that matter) I'm supposing a sale with, for instance, iTunes Europe would be sold in EURO's (or subsitute other non-US local currency here) converted to US DOLLARS in order to pay you and then converted again to Tunecore user's local currency when payment is made (if not US DOLLARS).

So excluding sales in the US (where, outside of the US, one would always have to accept at least one conversion - US$ > Local Currency) there could, in certain instances, be two currency conversions taking place?

I know it's early days for you and you have enough on your plate already (and maybe you've already thought about this?) but would it be possible to eventually allow customers to have not one but a few different currency accounts?

Cheers,

R.
