There's a song I want to buy but it's not available on iTunes Australia. But it is available on Telstra's music service. However, the file is WMA.

Will I be able to play the file in iTunes?

If not, is there a way to get it work with iTunes?
 
Not really. The Windows version of iTunes can convert WMA to something that'll work in iTunes, but I doubt it'll have a chance if the file is encrypted with DRM. :eek:

You can buy (very cheaply), EasyWma. Or, for free, this new, unproven app. called CoolWmaWmav.

EasyWma works fine for me.
 
Thanks for the tips.

It seems that Telstra has a selection of MP3s and another selection of WMAs. The song I want is only available as WMA.

It's frustrating bulls**t. I could easily rip the audio for this song off the YouTube clip, but I want to get it legally.

Incidentally, the song is by The Stone Roses: "She Bangs the Drums".
 
Oh, Amazon MP3s are for North Americans only?

Obviously the music industry doesn't want me to buy their stuff.
