Now if only it was available on iTunes Australia... Well either it gets released here, gets released in a physical copy or I'll have to hunt down a pirate copy EDIT I have another idea how I can get this album (and probably this would work for Street Dreamer too). If someone buys the album from iTunes US and sends it to me (via mediafire etc) then I'll send them the money via Paypal? PM me if this is possible!

That's the easiest and most profitable way to release music today. Most established artists won't see a dime from their new albums if they're still on a label. I think 10% is being generous.

So no "hard copy" release? (I know I'm too old school for my own good )

Unless I know even less than I thought about computers, one cannot transfer iTunes to mediafire. Also, although I could "gift" iTunes tracks to other people with US iTunes, one cannot do so internationally.

However, when I download in Australia they download in .m4a format which surely could be then zipped up, uploaded to mediafire (or the like) downloaded by me, unzipped, and converted to mp3 with something like Switch Sound File Converter and then added to my iTunes. Apparently (and I haven't tried) you can create a US itunes account easily enough (create one using the address of a church in either Oregon or Florida apparently to avoid taxes?) and then get gift cards off the net. Obviously you can't use an Australian credit card to pay so you need US gift cards. You can buy these off ebay but apparently many of them are bought with stolen cards so they you get in trouble with Apple and can have your account cancelled. There are also services which offer to buy you US iTunes cards but not sure how legit they are. While Apple does not "offically" allow this, I guess it would be better than pirating the music which would be a much easier option (but I'm trying to give Mr Burnette his $9.99). |

Bought the album last night. Just listened to the clips and haven't listened all the way through yet, but it sounds great from what I DID hear.
AND, he continues his tradition of re-recording a song from a previous album. This time around the song is "My Love Will Not Change", which was previously recorded & released on his Memphis To Manhattan album. (at least he didn't do ANOTHER version of "The Bigger The Love". )

Well I guess I just want me some liner notes (not that Billy ever had much of those in his albums in the first place but...).

Failing that, I'll find someone to buy me a US iTunes gift card and get around it that way. (against iTunes's terms of service but apparently quite a widely used loophole). You'd think if they were serious about stamping out piracy they would make stuff much more easy to buy across the world. I'm not trying to steal the damn thing I'm trying to PAY for it!!! |
