Apple is releasing a free single a day for the next 8 days from iTMS. Can we get them????


Here's the blurb from MacinTouch:

Quote:
Also new are free downloads:
Apple is marking the first anniversary of its iTunes Music Store by thanking its customers with a free song of the day for the next eight days from artists who have helped make iTunes a runaway success, including Foo Fighters, Avril Lavigne, Courtney Love, Annie Lennox, Jane's Addiction, Counting Crows, Renee Fleming and Nelly Furtado. Following the anniversary celebration, the iTunes Music Store will continue to offer a 'Free Single of the Week' from up-and-coming bands, spotlighting emerging artists and offering iTunes customers a risk-free way to discover new music.

Nope. It'll send you to a "You're not in the US" screen.

So far no luck. The link on the apple.com won't load on my computer at work. Anyone else have any luck?

I got one when I redeemed some Pepsi codes. On another discussion board there was a guy who drank tons of Pepsi but didn't use iTunes so he emailed me the codes.

Sweet.

I'm connected to the US iTMS, via a US based VPN.

But you can't download without creating an account with an American credit card.

Also from the conference call today:

Quote:
We'll be in Europe later this year," said Jobs, reiterating comments made by Apple VP Pascal Cagni earlier this month. "And obviously we'll be in places beyond that."
Now by "beyond that" does he mean "beyond this year" (I hope not) or ""beyond Europe" (I suspect the latter).

Reading b/w the lines of the recent "rumours" spawned from not so secret conversations with Canadian music industry mouth pieces, I think the iTMS Ca is ready to go and will be part of an announcement of iTMS Europe (phase I).

We shall see.
