dean Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 Not really my Ipod but my wife's. I've never been able to access my ipod account while in Thailand and I need to do that in order to add music (or set up another account for my wife). Has anyone had any luck adding music to their ipods while in Thailand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samak Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 no access to itune from thailand. guess they would have problems to collect the money!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Munchmaster Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 Same in Middle East, but I don't understand why there would be any problem getting their money anywhere. If you pay by credit card why does it matter what country you are in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samak Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 you are right! very strange! maybe it has more to do with copyright issues? that they are concerned people from those countries are going to copy those stuff and they can not take legal action?

It's all about copyright issues. To Dean, the OP, there's heaps of places around Khao San Road that will put music on your iPod for you. Also, you can go to Panthiip and by MP3 CD's and put them on your pod yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dean Posted February 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 I'll be back in Bangkok the end of March and try your suggestions. In the meantime, I may try panthip in Chiang Mai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samak Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 you can also load your ipod in MBK; 2-3 THB per song! figure it out! how much you pay on itune (i have a ipod but never used itune!)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Goodtime Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 iTunes has serveral stores by country(i.e., Japan, America, etc.). In order to buy from a particular iTunes store you have to have a credit card billable to an address in that country. For example, if you want to buy from the Japan iTunes store you have to have a credit card billable to an address in Japan. There is no way around this. Note that even if you buy Thai CD's, MP3's, etc. and the songs are in Thai script you will not be able to see the Thai script on your ipod. It will just a blank space unless you type a unique supported language title to it. If you bought your ipod in America it does not support Thai script on the ipod. But you will be able to see the Thai script in iTunes. Apple needs to step it up and start supporting the Thai script with the America based ipods. Also, Apple needs to get with the program and allow you to buy music from iTunes in different countries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redwood13 Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 This didn't sound right so I sent off a note to my TechnoGeek buddy in Chiang Mai and he says: "First, there isn't any reason he should not be able cannot access his wife's iTunes account if she had the account PRIOR to Thailand. You cannot get an iTunes account while in Thailand but you can certainly access from here it if you ALREADY have one. Secondly, you're not required an iTunes account to set up music or sync the iPod with iTunes. I have been doing it since coming here in 2004." -redwood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
