Why if I have registered as being in Singapore I can only buy CRAP music, I want to buy something I found on the US store but can't even find it let alone buy it on the Singapore store

Get it somewhere else - it should still play in iTunes.

Question for the iGurus: I'm running iTunes on Windows and I want to move all my music to another drive. How do I do that without losing all the cover art I've added in manually?

Then I have to change my address to the US then?

I don't think it's that simple, I'm guessing iTunes works out where you are by your IP address.

BTW

, what DOES your avatar say? I've never been able to make it out.

Definitions of 'decent' vary, there's a lot on the iTunes Oz site that I wouldn't pay for either. What is it that you want to buy anyway?

I think iTunes location is dependent on your credit card location, not IP address. I've accessed it in a few different countries & it always goes back to my Irish credit card and offers me the UK/Ireland shopping.
The only thing I could suggest is if you have a different credit card...

Interesting. I only use the 'iTunes prepaid credits', which are country-specific. If you want US iTunes credits, they're available on ebay.

oh, and I'm still interested to know what you want to buy.

Yep, I use US iTunes but I have a US credit card.

I'm with Bender, what are you trying to buy, A?

Can be done A. I bought American Idol stuff via US I TUnes

(1) Buy an Itunes voucher on ebay (people sell for slightly more than face value). They then e-mail you a code to release it.

(2) Register with US itunes. Give fake US address (I used a hotel in New York)

(3) Enter voucher number and spend.

Do you mean Mr G doesn't have a US credit card and doesn't trust you with it?

Well, if he doesn't have one how can he trust her with it?

But yes, as the Scumster says, either use a US credit card or buy the vouchers off ebay. Or US Amazon, but you have to pay US$5 for "shipping".

He does, I have all the details and his address in the US.

I wanted to buy the Isaac Hayes Hot Buttered Soul. But the main issue I had was the Sing one had complete SHITE. Nothing I had ever heard of. Have made a couple of wee purchases via Mr G's card, will tell him when he gets here tomorrow
