I’ve moaned about this before but bear with me. I’m so frustrated that iTunes hasn’t yet come to New Zealand. I’m a big music listener and frankly, I’m tired of listening to the radio while I commute. There’s just far too many ads. I love discovering new music and lately I’ve found that more and more music I like isn’t getting any airplay. When I’m online lately, I’ve been using last.fm and Pandora to discover new songs and artists.
I do not agree.For more info go to http://www.apartments.waw.pl

[...] If you’re feeling extremely grateful, I would appreciate accept any iTunes vouchers (in New Zealand we cannot legally buy music for iPods – our credit cards/Paypal accounts aren’t accepted). [...]

Understand… You will be happy in our country(i mean russia), where you can write CD with whereaver you want music… You can’t copy music from friends cd’s without fear….

Thanks Dom – yeah a few people emailed me a copy of that link and some kind person even sent me an itunes voucher!! I had to enter in an American address in order to redeem it though, crazy!

“I have to provide my credit card info before even seeing what they offer and if it’s worth it :/”

Rachel, I know I’m late to this discussion but if you haven’t already figured it out, you *can* see what’s available on emusic without signing up with your credit card (there’s just no obvious direct link).

Try using this address:
http://www.emusic.com/browse/all.html

They’ve even got NZSO and Don McGlashan stuff! Choice!

I am in a similar position to you here in South Africa. We are also waiting for the iTunes Store to open up here and could wait for a while. I noticed that Skype has done a deal with EMI recently to sell EMI music through a Skype store (or something like that) across territorial boundaries. If you are interested, I did a post on this on my other blog at http://wiredgecko.typepad.com/neuvo/2006/04/while_we_wait_f.html.

Really enjoying your blog (mine feels postively 90s in comparison).

Rachel, some suggestions:

-be sanguine about eMusic, and at least do the 14-day Free Trial and see how meagre their song selection actually is, before signing up full-time. It’s nice that it offers files in ‘unrestricted’ format, but too much of their catalogue is composed of very obscure recordings, with a real scarcity of ‘mainstream’ tunes

-I’ve been using two Russian sites, allofmp3.ru and mp3search.com, for the last month and I’ve been very pleased with both. Using a DSL line, downloading a 5 – 6 MB, single track mp3 file takes
