iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store: 2 quick notes

By Scott McNulty

My pristine, non-hacked iPhone (I can just sense Erica rolling her eyes at the lack of cool stuff on my iPhone) updated to the 1.1.1 firmware without a hitch. Much like our very own Dave Caolo I quickly purchased an album using the iTunes Wi-Fi Store (this album, for those curious) and I found the experience to be quite pleasant indeed (I wonder when Amazon will have an iPhone version of Amazon MP3? Probably not any time soon, sadly).

Here are two quick notes that will answer a few questions folks have asked me:

  • You can buy iTunes Plus tracks via the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store, though iTunes Plus has to be turned on in your iTunes account.
  • If you have iTunes credits (from a gift card, or iTunes card) they will be applied to your purchase, but the iTunes Wi-Fi Store UI doesn't reflect that (I had 5 bucks left on the $25 iTunes card I bought with a portion of my $100 credit. The Wi-Fi store showed the full cost of the album I bought, but my emailed receipt reflected the 5 dollar credit).

Nothing too earth-shattering, but good to know, don't ya think?
