Purchase Song from Another Country?

I was disappointed that I couldn't find the song "Hips Don't Lie" by Shikira on the US iTunes site. However after searching the web for a little while the iPod Reporter states that it is on the iTunes Dutch site - and sure enough it was. Now, once I got transfered to the site I was not authorized to purchase from the site. Does anyone know how to go about getting authorized to purchase? Or just getting this darn song from iTunes to begin with?
Thanks!

You should be able to just drag the track to the iTunes window. Make sure that the option for "copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library" is set in the iTunes Advanced preferences and it should add it and put a copy where it needs to go in the iTunes Music folder.

Purchasing songs from another country.

I have found songs that I am interested in on the France and UK iTunes sites. The transaction will not go through. How might I purchase these songs that are not available on the USA iTunes site?

You either need to purchase from a certain country's iTMS:
#1: A CC with a billing address in that certain country
or
#2: A Prepaid card/gift voucher issued in that certain country + an address there
If you don't meet of of this conditions there is "no go" - that's no decision made by Apple but by the big record companies.

Can I purchase songs from many country iTunes Stores ?

If I want to purchase songs from diffrent country's stores,can I do that? And if I can, can I play it on my iTunes and/or my iPod?

Unless you can show some form of residency you cannot buy from another country's store. The question on cross store purchasing is asked frequently so I'll just quote the most complete answer (courtesy of Dave Sawyer) from the many given:
In order to buy from any given country's iTunes Music Store, you must have either:
a) a credit card with a billing address in that country, or
b) a mailing address in that country and a gift certificate or a prepaid card that was bought in that country.
If you cannot fulfill one of these two sets of conditions, you will not be able to purchase from any given country's iTMS.
.......this is due to restrictions placed on Apple by the record companies and other rights holders (who are often completely different from country to country and so all require their own individual negotiations and contracts), not by Apple's choice. And this also applies to all the legal download stores that carry major-label content, not just the iTMS.

You cant, because of licensing issues apple wont allow you too purchase songs which they dont have licens too sell in your country.

Can I get to my purchased songs from another computer????

As King Penguin alluded to earlier:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not available in all countries; apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this). Movies currently available in the USA only. Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later. Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list (e.g., ringtones), or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid. Apple notes it is your responsibility to back up your purchases.
Select the store on the left side of iTunes.
Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick Links.
You can re-download your available previous purchases.

DLing songs from another Country?

Is it at all possible to buy songs from itunes in another country? I want songs that are only available in NZ and OZ, but it's not letting me do it? Thanks

This has been covered here literally dozens of times, but once again: the content owners do not allow cross-border sales from any of the legal download stores. You must therefore have legal residence in the country of the iTunes Store you wish to use. So in order to buy from another country's iTunes Store, you must (as proof of residence) have either:
a) a credit card issued by a bank in that country with a billing address also in that country, or
b) a mailing address for your residence in that country and a gift certificate or a prepaid card that was bought in that country.
If you cannot fulfill one of these two sets of conditions, you will not be able to purchase from any given country's iTMS.
This, again, is due to restrictions placed on Apple by the record companies and other rights holders (who are often completely different from country to country and so all require their own individual negotiations and contracts), not by Apple's choice.

Buy a song from another country's itunes

I'm an American currently in Australia and I would like to buy a song that is not offered in the US itunes store but is for the Australian itunes store. I am trying to download it but itunes says it is unavailable to me. I am in Australia, so why can't I buy it from the Australian store? What can I do to fix this?
Thanks

I only want one song so if I were to buy an itunes gift card here in Australia, when I return to the US I wouldn't be able to use it in the US itunes store?
Correct. Your credit balance would not be transferrable to another country's iTunes Store, and you would not (by the terms of use) be able to continue to use the Australian iTunes Store. So it's probably not practical for a single song. Either get someone with an Australian iTunes Store account to gift you the song, or pick it up on CD (which is expensive for a single song, but less expensive than buying an entire gift card for just one track).
Regards.

Can I purchase music from another country?

I want to purchase the track "Empires" by a British artist named Lamya. She passed away and it is a very good song. I can see that the song is for sale on the US iTunes site but it says I cannot purchase it because I am in Canada. How can I access it? I don't understand why there is a restriction for this. If I went to the UK and bought the CD there, I could bring it back to Canada and it wouldn't be a problem. If I bring my laptop to the US and purchased it while in the US, would I be able to keep it on my laptop, iphone when I returned to Canada?

You can't - the Terms of Use of the stores state that you can only buy from the country that you are in (e.g. due to licensing/distribution terms etc)

Help with purchasing with from another country's Music Store

I'm trying to buy some song from the German iTunes Music Store but iTunes won't let me because my credit card isn't a German credit card. I don't see why this is a problem because the artist and Apple are still going to get money from my purcashe, just from a different country. Any suggestions on the best way to buy a song from the German Music Store?

its the record companies at fault companies like warner and emi in the uk dont want you to buy music from warner in the US or emi in germany as it is lost revenue to that business unit.. record companies are not benevolent suppliers of art they are capitalists and like to accrue money, the whole issue of the music lovers desire for global trading of music has long frustrated them and hence why hefty prices are paid for music imports.. this issue was what frustrated Apple's desire to produce the euro itunes store and the segmenting of the store by country was one of the things it had to do to get the labels to agree to let them have music to sell. The online music sales phenomenon has highlighted the despicable business tactics of the record labels and the EU are i believe investigating them and their shady practises....

How To Buy Songs From Another Country

My "home account" is in Switzerland.
As an "enka" fan, however, I would like to buy songs from the Japanese iTunes Store.
Is this possible, e.g., by creating a second account? If not, what do I have to do?

In order to purchase in the Japan store, you would have to have a credit card with a billing address in Japan.
