MUSIC I CAN'T FIND, HOW DO I REQUEST IT?!

I have been looking for some songs forever and have done the most broad searches, but I can't find them so I finally gave up. I looked at the iTunes and Music Store Help under Buying Music and it said this at the end of 'Finding Music in the Music Store' :
"If you can't find the song or album you're looking for, it may not be available for sale. Click the Requests & Feedback link on the home page of the iTunes Music Store to request a song or album that you can't find. Then visit the iTunes Music Store at a later date to see if the song or album is available. "

I have been looking EVERYWHERE on the home page of the music store and under help and everywhere else, but still have not been able to find it. Does ANYONE know where this 'Requests and Feedback' link actually is???
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Patty

Patty,

I'm not sure where in the music store you can request, but you can from the world wide web here.

FYI - Ya, this is all great in theory...but it doesn't seem to do anything at all. I am in Canada, and the US store is WAY better. I always "request" songs....but it doesn't seem to make any difference.

Please list the song, artist, album or soundtrack you'd like to see on the Music Store. If you selected "Augment a Genre", let us know which genre should be augmented.

Does this mean I post only one album at a time becuase it states "Please list the song, artist, album or soundtrack"
Am i allowed to put 4 or 5 I want in one email?

Whether or not your suggestion will ever be acted upon will depend on a number of factors, most out of Apple's control. So just because you request a track doesn't mean Apple can obtain the rights to it; sometimes the record companies or the artists involved just won't allow it..

It's why the iTMS lacks any content from any major artist, Gary. Apple would love to have every track ever released (that was their stated dream when the iTMS was announced) but if the record companies or artists won't allow it, there's nothing Apple can do. To the best of my knowledge, Zep and the Wilburys have not allowed their music to be on any download store.

As to the Wilburys' albums, they're apparently out of print, so you'll have to look for them used. Amazon has links to resellers that have them.

I'm glad someone mentioned that. I want the other two lord of the rings soundtreacks also. But I cant find them anywhere in any store so I thought they might be on iTunes but they weren't. How disappointing.

Is this why The music store does not have any Led Zepplin or Traveling Wilburys? I really want Both albums by The Traveling Wilburys, but i cant find either in cd stores or on download programs.

If they got the first, good chance they'll get the next 2, I'd think.

Ooops...I looked them up on Amazon and a diffrent label released Two Towers and Return. SO maybe that's the problem, no Apple contract with the Reprise label?
