I guess $1.69 is not to bad, in EU it's Euro 0.99 which is about AUS $1.65

That still works out to US$1.29 per track.

Minus 10% GST comes to US$1.16 per track

So we pay a US$0.17 (AUS$0.22) premium per track for living in
Australia.

Thanks Apple. Can someone please pass me the KY?

Also, who knows how much the credit card surcharge is on each transaction. Apple may have had to broker a slightly higher fee thanks to the quite low charge for each song.

Anyhow, I couldn't care less if it is $1.29 or $1.80. For my mind, if you can find an album cheaper on cd, buy it. But the real use for iTMS for me is the out of print music that will never make it back to cd, the video clips, the celebrity playlists (some are actually quite insightful!), and the fact I can preview any album without having to queue for ages at a cd shop (*if* the cd shop has it). This is the real gem of iTMS, which has no real peer amongst cd shops or other online services. And it works seamlessly with my iPod ;-)
