The last time this happened worldwide was when they were adding new

they sneak in the Australian store!!

The penny drops!  I forgot about the Canadian store, which is supposed to be
unveiled this week.  I figure things will be back to normal in the next few
days!

Ps Anybody noticed that Myer Megamart are now selling Macs (along with
iPods)?  Not sure if it is just laptops, as that was all they had in their
ad.  Good to see another reseller back on board!

Is that with the latest version of iTunes?  Seems I have the same problem
with 4.6.  I guess Apple have changed something over the weekend, to make
sure people in other countries go to the correct store.

I bet I get another iTunes email this week too, telling me what the latest
tracks are ;-)

Does anyone know if you can convert music from bigpondmusic.com (WMA format)
into MP3s?  Telstra claim 500,000 songs, and from what I have seen they have
a decent collection (depending on your taste of course!).

If Telstra have beaten Apple Australia to the punch with licensing music
available in Australia, maybe the iTunes Music Store is going to be another
iPhoto here?  I hope bigpondmusic.com is not our only alternative.  The
itunes store is so much better!

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. I
then hit the browse button (looks a bit like an eye) in the top right corner
of the window and I was then able to browse the store.

All the best

Just be aware that the above method doesn't let you look at all the cool
stuff on the store.  Just a listing format that looks like the Finder :-(
It used to be a great way to see the new videos and listen to a grab of new
tracks.  And I actually liked reading the Celebrity playlists and what their
thoughts are on each song!

Actually, don't bother.  Bigpond *still* don't support the Mac, even though
WMP 9 has been out for ages on the mac :-(

Not that I condone it (I can't stress that point any harder!), but I can see
why people just fire up apps like Poisoned and sponge away.  Older albums go
out of print and you are knackered.  Can't buy it online, can't buy it in a
store.

Oh well, just keep waiting!

I am going to feel dirty for saying this, but you can't actually blame 
Telstra for this one.


WiMP 9 for Mac only supports a much older version of the Digital 
Restriction Management software that the record labels use to price-fix 
and generally screw over their customers. Telstra only use a much newer 
version of this bludgeon device and it is not supported in WiMP 9 for 
Mac.


So although you can't blame Telstra for this one... you can still blame 
Microsoft, and that makes me feel better.
