iTunes help

I find the selection is still hit and miss with itunes.

Sadly. Radiohead have refused to have their catalogue published on iTunes. Merge (Arcade Fire's lable) still haven't signed on either, so all that you can download at the moment is their contribution to the SFU soundtrack


Go buy their record though, its fantastic. Support Canadian music!

go to eMusic.

They have a bunch of indie stuff ...

If you're still looking for somewhere to download Radiohead, I recommend Puretracks, which is a site run by the Canadian music industry IIRC.

Puretracks uses only WMA, however right on their site they provide simple instructions (if you couldn't figure it out) for transferring somgs to an iPod:

Puretracks Files Do Not Play (as is) On Apple iPod music players

Apple does not support the Windows Media Audio (“WMA”) file format used by Puretracks and does not provide its “Fair Play” rights management technology required to allow Puretracks to sell iPod compatible files. When Puretracks files are burned to a CD through Windows Media Player 10, the resulting music CDs will be recognized and can be ripped by iTunes.

I am trying to search for music to buy but nothing seems to come up. Is the selection just shinguardty on itunes or am I searching wrong.

I am trying to find Arcade Fire or radiohead and there is only one song each for sale. What gives?

I WAS going to make a smarmy comment about itunes doing you a favour by not having Radiohead for downloads, but I think I would get my ass kicked on this board for such a comment.....

Don't start on Radiohead, I will hunt you down!

I think the reason you won't find their stuff on itunes is because they're on EMI.
EMI and BMG are the distributors doing that stupid protection where u can't put your music on an ipod. When a new Radiohead album hits, I don't know what I'm goin to do. I fear that issue already.
