No 'iTunes In The Cloud' for United Kingdom Until 2012

MartiNZ said:
One thing I was wondering about the iTunes match is if they don't have some of your music, will they ask if you want to upload it to the cloud? I recall Steve saying years ago the intention was to have every piece of music ever written up on the store, and it would be a nice touch if Apple offered to pirate your music that they didn't have :D.

Yes you can upload the stuff they don't have, apple have said this already.

Not really classed as pirating though... Lol
 
Said it before, I’ll say it again –*this is just rats leaving the sinking ship. Label execs know the music industry is dead, they’re just grabbing as much money as humanly possible before the end.

do u think i'll be able to use a 25$ itunes gift card to use it on my US account for the match payment or will it require payment with a us credit card?

if that does indeed work, i see no problem using it on my US account here in germany
 
Apple???

The thing that annoys me is they obviously knew this at the time of the keynote. Why didn't they just say USA today and rest of the world to follow, or 2012.
This keynote was very strange anyway. Nothing was released at it? IOS 5 in the fall, Lion in July, iCloud also in the fall.

The mobile me has been a debacle as no official word and people charged for it up until the weekend before the Keynote??

Oh right, that's cool - and would they then be able to offer those down to others via Match? I find it kind of amusing even if it isn't piracy exactly :).

All assuming, of course, that people have their tags in order eh! We could end them up with a lot of duplication just by messing things up....

Japan delayed too, I guess.

Just don't see Sony Japan using iTunes anytime soon. They have their own music store in Japan and are trying to compete with Apple both hardware (walkman/smartphone) and software (music store).

I think it's almost a given at this point, I certainly assumed that it would be US only to start - hey even amazon mp3 is still US only. The iPhone took a year to get beyond that; anything that requires their negotiating with other, notoriously difficult, organisations, is going to start US only pretty much :(.
 
LOL @ them waiting to see how it effects sales. Really fail to see how it affects sales because the main function involves already purchased content.

Ridiculous, feel bad for the UKers here.

Its typical apple man, they never mention any "fall backs" or negatives in the keynotes.
 
Same old story will Apple UK - crap & substandard ATV 2 services and now crap and substandard iCloud service. :mad:
 
Yes, this pretty much sucks - but it's no surprise at all.

Of all the iCloud elements, it's the part of the service that has the least value (presumably we do get iCloud app storage?), although it would be a 'nice to have'. I'd quite like access to all my music all the time, even when my iPhone can only carry a small proportion of it.

What really sucks is how we're still missing good third party movie streaming to iDevices. I wish LoveFilm would pull their finger out, or Netflix would come over here.

How can this be *anyone's* fault but Apple's?

That's fair, it's just some people come off like "what in the world???" when this happens every single time they launch a service. There is nothing new and surprising about it, it should be expected.

Maybe you should look at the state of ATV 2 in the UK and compare the uber streaming product to the USA services available then you will see why "they" get so peeved. Apple is a repeat offender on things like this here without a record of necessarily putting it right a la ATV 2 + 18 months from launch.

How on earth do you think this Apples fault. He said they started recently,'it may well have been simultaneous.

And rightly so? Why can't apple negotiate in several countries concurrently?

Why can't other countries give up their sovereignty to make deals with record companies easier?

I wouldn't listen to the Performing Rights Society, they will as usual be completely clueless as to what they are doing.

It would surprise me however if it was delayed, I hate the music labels.

I know the ATV 2 is a bit of a waste of space over here but it was launched 9 months ago, not 18. :p

I stand corrected :eek: ..still sits there and looks good ( I tell myself) but that is about it unless you go to the dark side of course ! :eek:

I know the options on the ATV2 aren't great but are you having other problems with it??

i bought mine in San Fran, earlier this year. When it works its fine but i dont know weather its the ATV2 dropping the wifi of my BT hub?? Its a pain in the ass resetting the passwords all the time. We are moving in a few weeks so hoping for a better reception.

Yes you can upload whatever they don't have.
