Hi Guys,

take care when ordering, they offer the full album as cd or as download, but
the download is as yet (x) only 48 megabytes in size.

(x) Complaint made as it is not the full album, my expectation was an iso
image.


Kind regards

Peter Larsen

Your obviously new to downloads then, very few ISO images available of CD's
that I am aware of.
The market is mostly aimed at kids with iPods.

Yes, I am new at downloads. The say purchase the album for electronic or
physical delivery. It had been OK if they had said "the album as mp3", and I
had then wanted to pay exactly 10 percent of what I decided to pay. I
believe in a fair pay, and I want a fair product for it, I don't want a
short sell.

So do what any sensible person does, simply buy the physical CD instead.

OK, I was an idiot. I went by the exact words on a web page, there is always
a risk in doing that ... but should there be in this case?

Wish I had read todays newsaperer ... wish I had waited two hours, then I
had been forewarned that what they sell as "the album" is 160 kbs mp3 and
that the actual album has more tracks on it. Source to that info: a modestly
credible tabloid's web-version. But I know they are modestly credible, I
didn't know that the same limitatilon applied to Radiohead.

Gotta get some work done ...

Fair enough . 10% of the musical content should cost 10% of the CD !

However be prepared for a depressing dirge of mediocre self-indulgent
musical noodlings with little songwriting, instrumental, or vocal prowess.
If my impression of RH is correct .....

Agreed, just don't expect it to ever happen though :-(

1. Before you offer advice, get the facts. The album is available for
download on a pay-what-you-want basis.
2. Since when has 'prowess' had anything to do with music? ('80s
hairmetal not withstanding). If you want to show off, become an
athlete.
3. If you don't like Radiohead,don't buy it/download it. There are
plenty of Yanni CD's still in the bargain bin.

I hope the original poster gets his/her problem sorted out. Let us
know what happened to the download. Internet-as-Distributor is a
fascinating thing to watch.

They offered a full refund ... and I accepted that instead of what I
initally asked for - a CD or full wordlenght audio. My point to them was
that I had expected full wordlength audio and paid a fair price from that
expectation. The refund offer obviously was in the context of the actual
transaction and in the context of their mp3's being 160 kbs.

Hopefully they will specify their product better on their website. It is a
good initiative and a good musical use of 26 Hz audio.

Indeed. Internet reduces distances to zero, it really is a warp drive.

If you can't follow what was being said, don't jump in and criticise!
Peter complained about the highly compressed nature of the downloads, and
you go off on a tangent about liking or not liking Radiohead, something that
was not even being discussed.
