The list of countries available under "Parental Preferences" iniTunes has been greatly expanded in version 10.6, suggesting musicand movies on the iTunes Store may soon be coming to a number ofcountries in Asia. One AppleInsider reader noted on Tuesday that the newly released iTunes 10.6features a number of new countries under the Parental Preferencespane. They said the new countries include, but are not limited to,Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore, Taiwan, Malaysia and South Korea. With the new settings, users can restrict the viewing of contentbased on localized parental controls and age restrictions. The newpreferences allow content restrictions related to movies, TV shows,applications and explicit music or podcasts. The addition of parental controls is noteworthy because Apple hasyet to expand the iTunes Store to those countries. In manycountries around the world, iTunes only offers content through theiOS App Store, as well as podcasts and iTunes U. The expansion of parental controls tailored specifically for thoseregions could be a sign that Apple is nearing the launch of iTunesstorefronts in major countries like Indonesia, continuing Apple'sinternational expansion of its digital storefront. As recently as last December , Apple debuted iTunes music and movie stores in 16 countriesacross Latin America. And last September the iTunes Store expanded to 12 new countries in Europe, making itavailable in all European Union nations, including Poland, Hungaryand the Czech Republic. Of course, the new parental controls in iTunes 10.6 may just be forrestricting mature App Store content or explicit podcasts. But theupdate has added movie age ratings that are specific to eachcountry, and TV show ratings remain greyed out, suggesting Applecould be gearing up to sell content to a number of new countries. The new parental controls are another addition to iTunes that Applequietly made with version 10.6. AppleInsider also reported on Monday that the updated software also added the ability for users toselect higher quality audio conversion bitrates of 192kbps and256kbps when syncing to an iPhone, iPod or iPad. iTunes 10.6 launched last week , granting users the ability to download 1080p video. It alsoaddressed a number of issues related to the iTunes Match service,including improved song matching, and album artwork handling,downloading and displaying.
