Q: How long does it take for Apple to grant a requested album?

If you request an album from another country's iTunes store, how long does it take for Apple to respond or at least make the content available on your county's iTunes store?

    It's not Apple's decision whether it will appear in your country's store, the rights-holder for that country will have to grant Apple a license to sell it there - if they don't grant the license then Apple won't be able to put it there.

     

    Is it available on other music purchase download sites that you have access to ? Or could you get the CD and copy it via your computer's iTunes ?

     

    It's also unlikely that you will get any reply from Apple about it

    The entire CD is available on Amazon for $20.03. I'll buy it from there if I can't buy it from iTunes in the future. Thanks King_Penguin for the fast response, it clarified the situation for me.
