iTMS Canada Dec. 1 [NOW OPEN]

**** they are missing alot of artists.. on 3 searches 0/3. The Strokes, Sam Roberts (frickin Canadian!!), and the White Stripes. All which full discography is available on US store. Oh well give them a few weeks should get up to par.

I know its only the first day, but for now Puretracks is killing them content wise.
 
Looking for a particular tune...

I don't know the title of the tune nor which band plays it (or even if it's a short tune made exclusively for...)

Help me out if you can:
It was in a Canadian beer ad, where some young Americans where drinking Canadian beer, and someone takes the last one, and so the next one has to walk over mountains, etc, go buy the beer, and just as he passed the frontier, he trips on a rock and has to go back to buy another case...

I know, it's pretty weak as a clue, but that's all I got. :(

So if you know (either the group or the song name), please tell me!

Well, technically their first day isn't even over yet... Who knows what'll be added in 24 hours?
 
Congrats to you Canadians :D Just waiting for the Norwegian store now.

One question. Any Sony/BMG tracks in the store? Wasn't there some problem with Sony?
 
The Proclaimers?

You mean that song that goes "uh-huh uh-huh uh-huh uh-huh"?

That was "I'm On My Way" by the Proclaimers. A quick search didn't turn it up on itms.ca though..

I think John Mayer is on Sony and his entire album library is missing, just some live stuff and a few partial albums.
 
Man this is dissapointing, 90% of the stuff I wanted from the US store isnt there.

No Francophone section in iTunes Canada. That is dissappointing.

Do you mean French language menus etc?

That's what I can see now after switching from UK store to CA store for a look.

Edit: add image

The song is called 'I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)' by The Proclaimers... at least if I'm thinking what you're thinking...

But I would walk 500 miles
And I would walk 500 more
Just to be the man who walked a thousand miles
To fall down at your door

Unfortunately, The Proclaimers have left the Reality-Distortion Field and aren't in the iTMS Canada! :eek: (Dunno about any other countries, though) There is a remake by some other guy, though...

Hope that helps! :confused:

i feel bad about you and the swedes... we were lucky in finland to get the store :)

i guess it's because we use euros and you don't. so far the UK store is the only one without 0.99 / 9.99 pricing system, but apple HAD TO do it because euro store without uk would have been a flop. maybe you get it when you join eu AND begin to use euros... :) :) :)

You got that right, but has Apple?
The U2 complete package is listed at the Canadian store
as $149.99 (CDN)

The same collection at the USA store is $149.99 (US)
By today's exchange rate, that's $201 (CDN)
 
Anyone able to confirm if the usage rights (number of authorised computers, CD burns) are the same as the other stores?
 
Damn, no pre-paid cards yet - here's hoping they come soon - I wonder if US cards would work - or U.S Ben and Jerry's codes.
 
Hey Guys,

Congrats on iTMS canada. I hope you enjoy it as much as the other countries have enjoyed it.

In terms of catalogue - dont worry, give it some time. The UK store was pretty terrible when it first launched, but as Apple launch more deals and upload more content, you'll see the store getting better and better.

We had to wait a few months to get free singles too, btw.

Enjoy!

/asif
 
wow, they did it... congratulations canada, I'm happy for you, enjoy it... after a lot of fun. great for you... someone at apple thought that there was a November 31st :)
 
Damn campus network. iTMS gets a really crappy connection. Can't even log in... Probably for the better. One click and it charges my credit-card. Dangerous....

Any thoughts on the spotty connection?? I can download lots of other things at lightning speed.


And Loge > Usage rights are the same for all iTMS.
 
Well just maxed out my credit card. Had to download 2 songs ;) Can't believe they got 54.40 on there. What time did iTMS.ca go up (I don't want to look through 500 posts)? Any word on how many songs we got listed?

edit: Jesus only one Nickelback and Sum 41 song! I am going to go look for other artists. :mad:

edit 2: fixed 50.40 to 54.40

uh 54-40 maybe...dont know about this 50-40 :)

I checked at about 9:30 Mountain time and it was live shortly before that.
 
Happy shopping in Canada.

Be patient with the content. If it's anything like the UK store, it will take a few months to fill out. I didn't buy anything for about the first six weeks, and then it started to become a habit!
 
BEHOLD as you witness the ratings for this story swing wildly from positive to negative, then to positive again!!
