I'm at school now and I can't get in the store! AHAHA!!!!

I'm getting the iTMS 400 error.

I think we'll see a new and improved iTMS, like we did between the Mac and PC versions. More options, more everything (subscription service?)

Could we see a subscription service? I mean they are going to announc the 48k accPLUS, so why not?

Since Apple has told investors that it will expand the Music Store into other countries in October, it's hard to believe that they won't make this move now.

I get the "The iTunes Music Store is not available in your country yet." message... When I click on OK, I come to the flag page, and when I click on any flag (tried all four) I'm returned back to the "The iTunes Music Store is not available in your country yet." message.

What's up with that?

(I'm in Norway)

Cool, I submitted this to MacRumors and it actually got posted on Page 1! :cool:

Hopefully this is indeed a sign of things to come - we'll know tomorrow for sure, I'm hoping...

My question is: Is anybody who doesn't currently have the iTMS in their country not getting the country confirmation screens that don't let you browse the Store's front page?

The iTunes Music Store is not available in your country yet. […]


Dutch hardware site tweakers.net already reported that dutch songs and artists are available for download in the USA/French/German/UK music store.

I'm in the Czech Republic, and for the fist time I didn't get an error message when I tried to browse the store. It let me go right in there: no "Not available in your country yet," nothing. It looks like I can purchase songs with no problem.

WTF?
