Really? I don't have any problems with it. I use the American store when i want to pay for music......WHICH IS FOR SUCKERS!

Why would you ever pay for music?

I get all mine in the form of mp3s via torrents.

iPods play mp3s, right?


Maybe you're looking for videos. In that case, you pretty much have to use itunes store. Keep tooling around with the global settings until it works.

I heard about some new music store that is totally free, but I heard that it doesn't play itunes. Some french site...anyone know? The problem I'm having with itunes is my credit card has a korean mailing address, so I need to input it into istore with that address, but there is no Korean site that I can find for itunes. Sucks.

AFAIK you can't use itunes in this country. You can, however, download virtually anything you like from sites like isohunt.com, thepiratebay.org, and mininova.com for free.

I use ITunes in Korea. When you first install it or set it up you have to pick the USA store. You have to use an American credit card to pay for things.

I use Itunes here too ok.

You need a credit card to use/download Itunes?


Have never bought a tune especially after browsing Limewire and downloading.

Luckily this country offers good download speeds and you do not have a downloading limit!
