Can't you just change store and download from the US store? But how did you get the Zip code to work in the UK?

Entered a US zip code.

Apparently you need a US account to redeem a US code. Makes sense I suppose.

Is it possible to 'gift' someone song credit between the US/UK stores?

Man!!!!

I'm in the UK so it doesn't work for me!
It does. All you have to do is click on the redeem voucher tab on the US store. It will ask you for your account details or to create a new account. Choose new account, enter a US address, and choose none for payment options. This means that you can only "buy" free songs but it works.

Ive a question about making a second iTMS account.

Ive got a UK account, seeing as im from the UK, what would happen if i made a US account?

To listen to the music "purchased or redeemed" on this second account, that means i can only listen to it when logged in on that account yes?

and if i connected my iPod, on my main account, that music downloaded using my US Account, wouldnt play/transfer to my iPod??

Just dont fancy making a second account, if I cant listen to music from both accounts without swapping and changing all the time.

too much hassle

But that's the beauty of it. You don't need to switch stores/accounts to listen music bought from another account!

I am listening to Jack Johnson bought from the US store with these codes right now and *click* now I'm listening to one of his other albums which I bought from the UK store last month!

EDIT: (Obviously) You need to use a different email address for the US store to the UK store
