Thread: iTunes is SWAMPED

They recently started giving out codes on Facebook for 10 free songs.

Any Facebook user who is a fan of iTunes on Facebook can get a code.

The songs are from the Vans Warped Tour 09 Sampler CD (see above image).

There are so many people all over the United States clicking "Redeem" and entering the code and such that iTunes is swamped with data.

Network failure.

Make sure your network connection is active and try again.

Dammit, I want my free songs.

Guess I'll have to wait for the number of people attempting to access it at once to calm down a bit, because I just can't get through.

And its not just to redeem the codes, but even to change the category that you are searching for when doing a power search. Other stuff on iTunes is down, too.


~Open iTunes, see for yourself, discuss.

EDIT:

I JUST GOT THROUGH!

yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!!!!!!111@! !!!

EDIT EDIT:

Midway through the code redemption process, it timed out and told me to start over and try again

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooo

That's it, I'm just waiting till later.

Fuck iTunes.

YES.
Free music.
Fast too.

You guys actually use Limewire? Lol.

I use Limewire if I'm looking for one particular song.
If i want an album or discography i use torrents.

I just torrent the whole album in the first place, then I don't need to worry about trying to find one song.

Which one are you more likely to get caught and fined for? P2P's or torrents?

fixed that for you....

Youtube.
Record with Audacity.
Profit.

If you're running into those videos with a popular (and muted) soundtrack, well, cry more.

*hrm* or a WEP encrypted WiFi, cause it's so easy to crack.

Torrents are P2P.
