I wrote to the company saying that the download failed, and they sent me downloads of the booklet but not the sound files...I've replied asking specifically for the sound files. I've downloaded many mp3s from various sites, with no problem at all. I hope this is a one-off. Rob -- To get on or

If you can't work things out with the company, Paypal usually will refund your money. Go to the main Paypal page, find your transaction and open a dispute (but try to sort it out with seller first). DS On Mar 28, 2008, at 3:20 AM, Rob MacKillop wrote: -- Forwarded message

I had the same problem with tthem Rob, for other downloads... They eventuelly sent me a different address system and I could download what I had paid for, at 2 ko/second... It took the day ! They should do something to improve their service and make it reliable. Too bad, especially as they

I agree, Jean-Marie, they do need to do so something to improve their service. I have just had an email from them asking ME to apologise to THEM for making people on this lute list aware of the problems I have had. They accuse me of not being able to download a file. However, it seems from other

The company have very kindly and very promptly returned my money. I'm so sorry this didn't work out. I want to encourage downloads, especially as discs are so hard to find. I've had a few thousand downloads of mp3s on my own website - a free service. Why is it so much harder when money is

I have never had a single problem with Magnatune or Emusic or ITunes, but it was not the same with them. It's a pity, because the couple od Cds I have downloaded are really worth listening and as you say it's too bad for Franco Pavan who does a very good job indeed. If, as you suspect Rob,

Do they perhaps also sell CDs? Or does Franco Pavan have the right to sell them himself under the CD format. Personally, I have rarely downloaded music for fear of saturating my computer. Often, the performer has a right to sell directly. I have certainly bought CDs directly from certain

Re Magnatune Magnatune gives half of the sale, net, to the artists. This is a good thing! Plus, they invite you to give away a few free copies, which may seem strange, but it also a good idea. dt At 07:52 AM 3/28/2008, you wrote: I have never had a single problem with Magnatune or Emusic or

I had the same problem, some time ago. Download failed. But they were very helpful to deliver the files in the end. I think it's hard for a small label to meet the standards in all ways, but I think its worth supporting them, as their music is quite nice and comes at a fair price. Regards

Thanks for the plug with Magnatune. They have been a very good company to work with. I hope to obtain a copy of the Mouton disc. ed At 03:52 PM 3/28/2008 +0100, Jean-Marie Poirier wrote: I have never had a single problem with Magnatune or Emusic or ITunes, but it was not the same with
