Default US iTunes Music Store - can I....?

Hi guys,

Before I potentially waste some money, can I..

- Buy a US iTMS voucher from a US Apple Store
- Use it to buy songs on the US iTunes store, either here in the States or back home in Australia?
- Do the above without a US credit card or address?

I presume I can, but I had an AppleStore employee (5th Ave of all places!) once tell me that it wasn't possible.

Also, if I download that song onto my PC laptop, I can then copy it to my Mac once I get home right? I know about the restrictions on multiple devices (iPods, iPhones etc..) but from memory you can have the music on at least 2 computers?

Thanks guys. With the AUD doing so well and the big choice of songs/videos on the US store, I'm keen to head down the road and get a $50 voucher.

Cheers,
- Febs.

Nobody's forcing you to buy one.

Well, sort of. You do need to enter a US address when setting up your account, although it doesn't need to exist.

The other thing to bear in mind is that Apple are turning a blind eye to this now. There's no guarantee they'll do so forever, so be careful about buying up large amounts of credit.
