For all you Canadians who were waiting impatiently and patiently for itms Canada here is your chance. Songs cost the usual .99 cents.

Increase in the CDN$ no doubt helped keep it below $1

Well, I was going to complain about the lack of songs but I'd just look like an ass.

Instead, I'll just ask everyone to check my thread in AO and help me improve my taste in music.

They have Roch Voisine but no Mitsou!!! iTMS will fail without Mitsou! What the hell are you doing Apple!?!?!??!

[HHogan]

It won't let me buy music

Keeps asking me to update my billing info

[InactionMan]

yeah, click the sign in button and change it to Canada. It was set to USA for me at first.

NOW will you Molson-swilling beaver-trapping cheeseheads STOP WHINING???



Semi-serious Q: Is the iTMS required to have a certain % of Canadian artists like Canuckian radio?

CANadian CONtent regulations generally apply to broadcast airtime/media outlets/publishers...
but I don't think cancon limits apply to record stores or online vendors, per se.

IIRC, bookstore chain indigo.ca tried to go after Chapters claiming the American store shouldn't be allowed to play in Canada without similar rules... seems to me they lost the argument, but I don't know if it's actual precedent or was just thrown out.

*shakes head and cries* - will we ever see iTMS downunder?

Hey, do you guys have to solve a math problem before it lets you buy a song?

LOL.. hehe....

addendum:

Better yet, the math skill demonstrated will be attached to the song chosen, putting together a demographic picture of math capacity vs. taste in music.

OMIGAWD! There is only 700000 songs! And half the books and videos the Americans have! OMIGAWD!

Nah. It's pretty kickass for the first day. If only I could convince my dad to buy me an audiobook....

[Chinney]

I have not checked the site yet. Do they have Gordon Lightfoot? If not, it's not really Canadian.

True, so true. Man, that guy rules.

[onlyafterdark]

I think its pretty kick ass. I bought two cds on my first visit and the cds are $9.99. You cant find that around too often. Now I just need a way to burn cds without the break between tracks and Ill be set.

[Chinney]

Lightfoot is there!!

[InactionMan]

Yeah, I just bought Black Day in July. Lightfoot kicks ass! Well, he kicks as much ass as a Canadian folk singer can.

[onlyafterdark]

True enough.
