Wow, thanks for that priceless gem of truly ageless wisdom. I haven't used a Mac since I once borrowed by college roomate's in 1986, but I still felt the passing burn of superheated vitriol as your astounding intellect launched that devastating strike at your hated foe.

Actually, that'd be the iRectum.
And no, I'm not used to taking it up the ass as a Mac user (I'm split -- Windows Desktop/Powerbook laptop). As a matter of fact, I'm quite pleased by the service. Ran into some snags at first but, after a bit of time, Apple made it right AND compensated me well for the lost time with the laptop.
So it looks like the only person with something shoved up their ass is you -- remove that pole before you post again, please.

No, actually its a decision made by Apple not to make iTunes available to Australia.
The government wouldnt know what an iPod was, even if you shoved one up their collective asses.. (oh ho!! iRectums for all!!)

You don't have to use iTunes...
Many programs out there let you put music on there without it. It can be any old MP3 that goes on there.

Well this is news to me... an, I have no doubt, to the multiple salesmen (including 2 reps at an Apple store!! ) I've spoken to about an iPod who all insist that iTunes is "the only way" to load music onto an iPod.
(Interestingly, when they said this, I always countered with "but iTunes doesnt let you access the service from outside of the US, so how do I use it?", I was always met with blank stares and responses like "Uumm.. I dunno then..")

So Aussies can't download iTunes at all or y'all just can't use the music store? If it's latter, what's the problem? Paying to download music is silly. If it's the former, have someone from the US send it to you via IRC or a messenger. Kuroi Madoushi fucked around with this message on 10-06-2005 at 07:55 PM.

I'm sure their management tells them not to mention them. They're not supported by Apple, after all.

Cant download anything from iTunes (the Aussie site which was due for launch on Oct according to Vernal's post, is still "unavailable when i checked this morning... Oct 7 local time).
Personally, it doesnt really faze me one way or another. When I'm out, I'm (90% of the time) in the car, and thus have the radio. Otherwise, I have close to 100Gb of music on the 'puter HD (oh, the life of the radio DJ) to choose from. I can live without an iPod (and given the price they want to charge for one, it's cheaper to get an MP3 player by another manufacturer (Creative for example) than to "go with the flow" of iPods).
So if you are still able to install iTunes, then you can put music on your iPod...you don't have to have downloaded the music through iTunes.
