Re: ITunes Music store is down,..
Interesting to note it says iTunes Store not iTunes Music Store too. :-) I would think the chances of us here in the Second World getting the movies and TV shows at last would be pretty remote though. :-( It continues to amaze me how high a profile in the Public Consciousness Apple has now. The press is just going gaga over every little thing Apple does - all it took this time were two words! (It's Showtime) It continues to be great time to be a Mac user. I just hope Steve and the gang can sate people's expectations. It's getting harder and harder to compete with al the inflated imagination. -Mart -- Martin Hill email: mart at ozmac.com homepages: http://mart.ozmac.com Mb: 0417-967-969 hm: (08)9314-5242 From: Daniel Kerr [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Tue, 12 Sep 2006 21:13:24 +0800 To: WAMUG Mailing List wamug@wamug.org.au Subject: ITunes Music store is down,..

Re: Itunes Music Store Rebuffering .. more info
I have ADSL at (supposedly) 512 and iTunes 6.0.4 (3) and am operating OS 10.4.6. When I go to the Apple iTunes Music Store and try to sample some music it connects instantly and then stops to Rebuffer. I only get about 4 seconds of music and then it stops and Rebuffers again. And again and again. Hopeless for listening to anything. Is this a common problem and can it be fixed? I don't recall having this problem before the latest update. OSX 10.4.6 Lloyd Further to my previous email above I checked with my PowerBook using the same version of iTunes but with OSX 10.4.5 and have no problem getting instant samples from the music store. Same modem. It seems to be an OS 10.4.6 problem. Christian suggested I tick the preferences that says load complete preview before playing. This stops the constant rebuffering but it takes 70 seconds to load 30 seconds of music. Does anyone else experience this? Lloyd
Re: Itunes Music Store Rebuffering .. more info
Hi Lloyd, Try: iTunes /preferences /Store/ and tick load complete preview I did this a while back after having the same problem over our wireless network.

Fwd: iTunes Music Store Gift card
Hello. because, I didn't receive any answer last week, I repost my request. I am not an Australian user, but a French one. I have visit the new Australian iTunes music store and like in some other country, it's possible to have a free song every weeks. because I don't live in Australia, it's impossible for me to subscribe to this store and get this song. The only solution that I have fond to download for an iTms from an other country, is to open an account with a Gift certificates. and when the credit is over, I still have the possibility to download the free song every week like I do for the US or Japan store. So, I'm writing to this list to find someone who can send me this type of Gift certificate. For sure, I will pay for everything (Maybe with Pay-Pall). Also, if someone from Australia want to have a French account, I can also send a Gift certificate from my country. Thanks. Gwen.

I never expected it would be so easy. I guess I just assumed that it would be a lot more difficult to transfer the file into a MP3 since part of the design behind ACC was supposed to prevent piracy. Perhaps I could see myself using the ITMS, that is if it ever comes out over here in Australia. One thing though... I heard that making an MP3 from an existing MP3 greatly degrades the quality of the file because it has already been compressed. Since ACC is also a format for compression is this rule applicable? I'm not quite sure if converting into standard CD audio before encoding will bypass this.\ Ruben A. Franke hmmm false alarm by the looks Nope.

iTunes Music Store (this works!)
In their infinite wisdom, Apple have seen fit to deny access to the iTunes Music Store those of us not fortunate enough to live in the correct counties. However, there is a way to get into the store through a back door. In iTunes 4.6 and 4.7, there is a small round arrow icon in the same column as the song title. This icon acts as a link between a song title in your library and its corresponding listing at the ITMS. All you need to do is click the link and you enter the store, as long as the link is valid. Once in, you can navigate around as usual. Just don't click the Home button. It takes you back outside. -- Peter HinchliffeApwin Computer Services FileMaker Pro Solutions Developer Perth, Western Australia Phone (618) 9332 6482Fax (618) 9332 0913 Mac because I prefer it -- Windows because I have to.

I had the same result when I tried accessing iTunes Store with latest version of iTunes. I kept choosing US and kept getting the error message.

Telstra only use a much newer version of this bludgeon device and it is not supported in WiMP 9 for Mac.

iTunes Music Store To Open In Australia In Next Few Weeks?
From www.appleinsider.com By AppleInsider Staff Published: 10:00 AM EST An overseas report indicates that Apple is primed to debut its iTunes Music Store in the land of Oz. Citing music industry sources, a recent report in the Australian Financial Review confidently claims that Apple will launch its long-awaited iTunes Music Store in Australia in the next few weeks. While most of the negotiations for the Australian version of the iTunes service have been conducted through the global parents of the Australian music labels, meaning that the date of an Australian launch has been a well-guarded secret, record companies that are based in Australia are said to have finished negotiations with Apple over pricing and terms and are now readying to launch the service. According to the report, the localized version of the store might sell music tracks for as little as 99¢ a track, Australian. This is far cheaper than the US store, which sells music for US99¢ ($1.35) per track, and below the break-even point in Australia, said to be $1.45 per track. The accuracy of the report remains unknown, though if true, Apple would be in a position to unveil the music store alongside its new wave of European iTunes music stores, which are set to launch at a special music event on Oct. 26th. rmkay
Re: iTunes Music Store To Open In Australia In Next Few Weeks?
Some months ago I heard from a music industry insider (no names but not currently Oz based) that due to the small market size certain independent labels were (as with Europe) pushing for higher returns per song than in the US so they might not be signed off by the time it comes on line as such I guess the 99c Aud will probably be for top 40 and classic hits tracks.. cheap chisel and britany I'm excited. ow well it will at the very least be a big step in the right direction From www.appleinsider.com By AppleInsider Staff Published: 10:00 AM EST An overseas report indicates that Apple is primed to debut its iTunes Music Store in the land of Oz.

Windows Media Player 9 and iTunes Music Store (iTMS)
Hi All For those interested Windows released Windows Media Player 9 today http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/software/macintosh/osx/defaul t.aspx Apparently this format is used by the new legal Napster which is working on a Mac client shortly. On another side note, Napster sold 300,000 songs in it's first week, this last week. Apple's iTunes Music Store sold over 1.5 million songs. ;o) (It accounts for about 80% market share of legally purchased downloads). http://www.macnn.com/news/21928 All good for Apple!
