Pepsi promotion
I've yet to see any Pepsi bottle with the iPod promo on it (they're all still "hockey jersey" or something).
Why can't they start promotions when the bottles are *actually in the stores*! <g>

Whatever. Pure Tracks has been here for ages and Napster is also here already. Apple has a lot of catching up to do.JGowan said:

don't worry about it - if you do the 'no purchase necessary' option, you too can play!
It's what I'm doing. During work hours, no less... 😀

I'm sort of on the fence over this one. I buy PureTracks.com stuff @ work, 'cause I'm coincidentally on a PeeCee. Then I burn them to an image, mount the image and rip the songs to MP3 so I can listen to them on my mac @ home. Certainly not ideal, even though it 'works'. I would love a solution that wasn't such a PITA.
I don't think it'll take much for most ppl to jump the PureTracks ship...
Oh, and my method is recommended for 'geeks' only - most consumers would have no idea how to go about doing that...

I think we may have 4 or 5 music services here in Canada. I don't care because none of them are itunes. In fact, most of them are puretracks "rebranded" with another name "Futureshop Bonfire", Pure tracks, etc etc, etc... same S*** different name. Bring on the ITMS!

Here on the East coast of Canada, the Pepsi bottles were in the stores before the October 3 start date. The codes are under the label instead of under the cap. I guess they learnt from the US iTunes bottle tilting co*k up.
BTW: I won an iPod on Sunday. My first! 😀

You can dis the rest, but not Rita! Nova Scotia pride baby! I know Anne's from Nova Scotia too, but man... it's hard not to dis her. 😉
In all seriousness though, I do hope they have good Canadian content like Sam Roberts, The Hip, and if they're going to work with independents they should get Swollen Members. Can't you just see them doing the press announcement with Steve Jobs. I'd love a press release from Apple with their name in it.

I don't think we have any reason to believe they would take these artists out of the iTunes Music Store for its Canadian release, because if you go there, they are all in there.
Mind you, there is not that much Swollen Members stuff, but they are pretty small as far as the American scene. If I went to school with that girl who's in all their videos, and I'm just a random Canadian guy, then there you go.

just a reminder that file swapping is LEGAL in Canada - we pay a levy on all cd's, tapes, music players ($25 on an iPod) etc.
iTunes will be great - hope it doesnt just have Canadian artists.......eh?
More seriously, I hate to see any news about Canada - its pretty good here - dont tell anyone.
We dont want anyone thinking that anything happens here - its an empty wilderness of snow, OK?
We didnt invade Iraq, we dont shoot people, (well not many) we dont have much crime. Kind of like Switzerland only nice. We even have virtually legal marijuana, if thats your bent.
When we have elections its great - no matter who wins the election, nothing changes. The politicians are criminals, of course, like anywhere, but they are kind of inept. Its kind of cool up here.
