Sorry, my mistake. We get a lot of people here from Croatia saying they sign into the Slovenia iTunes Store and I had it mixed up there. :-)


Still, strictly speaking what I wrote earlier still applies. Officially you are only supposed to use Apple's services such as Apple Music when you are in your "home country" for which your iTunes Store country settings are set. Now Apple has eased off on the language of those terms of service quite a bit and 5 years ago it was a lot stronger and said they may "employ technolgies" to ensure you stay within the terms. Just because they don't say it now doesn't mean they don't. They say what they say and what they don't say you don't know.


What you can probably get away with is likely different but technically speaking according to Apple, well you can read their terms of service. It's probaly like the speed limit near my house. 99% of the drivers go faster than 55 mph and 99.99% of them get away with it. Still, if you ask what the speed limit is, it is 55 mph.

It's against the terms of use of the service but people still do it. Apple could potentially track your IP address to a different country and block the service or even close the Apple ID. I know there isn't any iTunes Store in Slovenia but frankly that's something you have to live with. I know iPhones are neat devices but realize you have bought something and taken it to a country where there is no real support for some services.
