iTunes Music Store URLs

[uocooper]

This is what happens when using Safari 1.1 v100. After reaching the page that provides you the code that you can copy and paste in to your own web page, there is a lego block icon with a question mark on it at the top left of the page. If I copy and paste the iTunes detector code to my own web page, it also has the lego icon. Internet Explorer appears just fine as does Mozilla and Omniweb. Are there any code jockies who can tell me what's going on and if there is a way to fix the code that Apple provides for the iTunes detection code? Is this a bug in Safari 1.1 v100? Safari does this on all web pages that have the Object id tag in them.

If it was only iTMS would agree with you, but it's not. Also iPhoto and Sherlock offer features that are useless for us outside the States. Probably it is not Apple's desire or fault, but I really hope they will get more agressive also in their international markets. I like the way Apple tries to "change the world", but they should do it not only in the States. The world is so much bigger...

What my point is is that I can't imagine that there are more computer users planning to download mp3s from iTunes from the USA than there are those who can't even buy from it! (ie us non-USAers). If you read my "location", I'm from England, which despite the fact that we speak English and £s to $s is fairly easy to convert (£1=$1.5), we ain't got iMusic store! What're all those iTunes users not from the states gonna do with these bookmarks and other added features? Put them all on the tunes we like until mid-2004, when by that time USAers will probably have movies sent by e-mail on request!

These are pointless upgrades for anyone who doesn't have a US postal address on their credit cards.

Was that really necessary? I suppose you could go on a tangent from any forum topic to complain about Apple's poor service overseas, but for God's sake, we've already read it over and over again! If you need to complain that badly, complain to Apple, the EU, Tony Blair, your local equivalent of the RIAA, and Mick Jagger himself, because unlike us, they can actually do something about it.

Personally, I find this extremely useful. I don't understand why so many people continue to look for something wrong with yesterday's rollout.

Why, Dan? Well, because most people are ******s and are constantly looking for something to sh*t on. Of course, you've got your PC troll are out to crap on every Apple innovation possible just to feel better about what they're using. It's totally sad to see one company try so hard to create and innovate and for people, lounging around in their underwear at La Casa dé Slobbo and p!ss & moan about everything.

I already sent this to Apple. Here is an edit of the code; it merely requires adding height and width properties to the object tag:
"</script><Object classid="CLSID719897A-B07A-4C0C-AEA9-9B663A28DFCB" codebase="http://ax.phobos.apple.com.edgesuite.net/detection/ITDetector.cab" width="1" height="1" id="iTunesDetector">
</Object>

<Script language="Javascript" type="Text/Javascript" src="http://ax.phobos.apple.com.edgesuite.net/detection/itmsCheck.js"></Script>"

You rock! I just tested your code and it works exactly as it should. Hopefully Apple gets this taken care of ASAP. Thanks.

I hope they don't bring any affiliation programs. Being affiliated with artists...I think that having any more money going to someone else would destory the idea of the iTMS. The bands my company represents get 91% of revenues off iTMS. If they start an affiliate program...there goes our margins
