OK iTunes...deep breath...first time I've purchased anything from there but hey, I do have an Apple ID from way back. OK iTunes has decided I'm in Japan, no I don't want to buy these in Yen, scrabble to find the location switcher - OK it's on the front page, done.
Add the tunes to my cart then....hey where's the Shopping Cart?
Hello? It's not like I'm a dumzo first time Net user and I know nothing about user interfaces, I design them as my job fer chrissakes...but how do I actually BUY something?!? No little shopping cart icon, no BUY HERE IDIOT button, nothing in the menus, nothing in the sidebar.
I know you know how much I love Apple but even for them this is crap UI design. Simply, crap.
EDIT: Got around it by switching to 1-click in the preferences and clicking on each song in turn (still kicked up an error about my perfectly OK card details though cos they introduced the security number since). Still no idea where they've hidden the shopping cart though, and a bitch cos I have to d/load each song in turn. Not user friendly.
