So why did you download it?

The Playlist notes clearly say that the mixtape is free, and the other
stuff is the tracks that inspired it. The mixtape is listed as free,
whereas the other tracks are each listed as 99c. The mixtape is also
over 25 minutes, which is consistent with complete shorter CDs. The
other songs averaged 3-4 minutes.

I'm not convinced it is the fault of iTunes music store that you didn't
look at their description, given that it listed the prices. unless of
course the iTunes store description was different when you viewed it.

However, wouldn't complaining to the iTunes store that their advertising
was misleading, and asking for a refund, be a better move than
complaining in a newsgroup?

Wow, I just wish I had an iTunes store in this country so I could
download anything at all from them.

iTunes doesn't work outside the U.S.A.?
That's odd, I don't remember the internet asking me where I lived.

iTunes works just fine. The American iTunes Music Store just won't sell
to anyone outside the USA (or give away their free downloads.) There
are also iTMSs in several European countries, that only sell to people
in those countries.

Apple is supposed to be finally opening a Canadian iTMS sometime this
month.

Interesting, I never knew that, thanks.
With Canadian revenue about to pour in, Apple's stock should go even
higher. (for anyone who doesn't follow the US Stock market, Apple has
gone from around $30 to $55 in the last few months)

I hit the "Free" download button once, as I have done every Tuesday with
no problem.

I did both and the iTunes Music store did give me a refund. However,
finding an email contact for the store was not easy.


Once I contacted them they were VERY Helpful!

iTunes works fine. It is the iTunes music store that isn't fully
available outside the USA and (more recently) much of Europe.
Originally you needed a US based credit card available, which is
something I might be able to bypass. My recent contacts with iTMS seem
to indicate they may track location by IP number, as they now identify
my contact as being from a non-USA location. Next time I'm visiting the
USA I may see if I can buy something.

You could download the 30 second samples, although since I'm on dialup I
don't often bother. You don't get to buy music, nor get the free
samples. You can sign up for the newsletter so you can see the tunes
you are missing each week.

The Gracenotes song details lookup works fine, as you would expect. As
an aside, given the sales of iPods, their actual song capacity, and the
number of songs iTunes have sold, surely either most iPods are mostly
empty, or most iPod users have sourced material from other areas such as
CDs. I have a couple of thousand items in my iTunes, mostly from old
CDs.

I was delighted to note the original poster did indeed contact iTunes
music store and did get a refund. Good to hear that the store is doing
the right thing, even if it was hard to find the proper people to talk
to.
