Q: I want to buy music in Thailand

I want to buy music legally in Thailand. I live here and do not want to buy fake music from the internet or on the streetcorners in Bangkok. So why cant I buy music legally from the iTunes store. I get blocked like a criminal. I cannot upgrade my computer at any shop here in Bangkok with new programs as they do not sell programs anymore and I cannot buy any new programs for my computer in Thailand. Only old outdated stuff available form an outdated Thai shop. Also I am English and everything from the thai shop is Thai. I cannot speak or read thai so why is everything in Thai and there are no language setting change option. I am beginning to wonder why did I spend so much money on Apple if I cannot do my work here. I can go on and on but I have hit a brick wall in Thailand with Apple/\. Please help anybody.

Mac mini, iOS 5.0.1

    Apple is restricted by what licensing permits. If somebody tells them, "I do not like the laws in Thailand regarding distribution of my music," then Apple cannot sell the music.  The same goes for software.  I don't know if there are other services who have worked out the wrinkles.

    You cannot by music from the Thai itunes store because the Thai itunes store does not sell music.

     

     

    Not sure at all what your question is.

     

    No one can make it so you can buy something that is not sold.

    So great that I invested so much money in a setup here to create and educational material beacause of all the wonderfull Apple programs and I cannot purchase the programs or download and pay for legal mood music. I now have to go and scrap my Apple system

    OK.

     

    We are all itunes users just like you.

     

    You can use whatever system you like.

     

    You can buy music from another source and put it into itunes, if you like.

    It is so extremely frustrated to see all the music that you want and need on the American iTunes store and I have to resort to illegal bad qualities on streetcorners. And unfortionately I cannot purchase mood music for production on strrt corners. They only sell the most resent pop  music with start and ends chopped of. We now have to go to places like Laos to go and buy legal or unleagal Chinese pressed cd's. My point is I am an Apple computer user and the Thai iTunes shop only sells stuff for Pads and Phones. 90% of Apple is now unusable to me.
