Found a way to test iTunes codes!

Ok.....so up until now, I have only been able to test SOME itunes codes. Those would be Universal Studios codes, and some Paramount directly through their redemption websites.


Well, I tried something......In Itunes, I have it set to where it ASKS me first if I'd like to download the movie when I enter a code instead of automatically downloading the movie. When it asks, I know the code is good. I open Windows task manager (ctrl+alt+del or right click on Start bar and scroll to TM), and kill the itunes program completely without clicking continue on the question it asks. Tried with several codes now, and it seems to work! Codes remain valid, and you don't accidentally redeem them if you are careful...

A bit tedious, but may be something good to know!


**Note, I have NOT gotten this to work yet with disc/xml based codes redemption, but working on sorting that out as well.

I've never used i tunes before. I just installed it and set up an account.
How do I set it up they way that you did?
