Believe me, once you buy a song off the iTMS, you would do anything for a iTunes Music Store song rather than a Klondike Bar.

Well.....

Just bought my first single (ever literally. never bought a single before!) which was "weightless" by Thievery Corporation

I bought my first album on itms woot! Talvin Singh "OK" :D

Excellent smithers, i can see how this is going to rapidly destroy any hopes of having a black bank balence!!

Myst, I bet you will get iTMS in October when they announce it for the rest of Europe.

     I dunno, Canadia isn't part of Europe. Maybe they just can't figure out a way to make the Canadian dollar valuable.

How the f__k does that make any sense?  They ok it in Europe, but not yet in Canada?  It must be b/c of the new law here in Canada about the mp3 player and song copyright issue.  S'all bs!!

Supposedly Canada was ready to accept the iTMS deal, but something went wrong and Apple rethought it. Weird I must say...


Title: Re:iTMS Europe ... Finally!
Post by: BFG on June 17, 2004, 12:07:54 am
Sounds a bit odd, wonder what would make apple think twice about it seeing they have been so keen on pushing the iTms about as much as poss. Unless they struck some kind of diminished deal with independant artists and record labels which made it not worth their while...


Title: Re:iTMS Europe ... Finally!
Post by: c| Lone-Wolf on June 17, 2004, 04:18:53 am
They probably arent that interested in Canadia because not enough people live there to warrent Apple's attention.  So, the deal they were working on fell through for whatever reason, and now they just dont care enough to go back and re-work it =)
