Impotence
May the source be with u!
Before i start, i will say that my download was possible un-ethical and i am only explain what happend, i intend to add credit into my account soonish (as soon as i stop drinking my wages :D).
I created a All of Mp3 Acount awhile ago (when in was mentioned on hwf as a great alternitive to itunes somewhere on hwf), i'll call it 6 months(?). When i signed in today (planning to buy some credit to get some new music, reminded of the site by THIS slasdot). i noticed i had $0.20 in my account (i do not know why, as i have never put ANY credit into that account.... i guess it was an incentive to download music).
I looked around for something to spend my $0.20's on.... ahh Nightwish - Planet Hell, it was available in every format and bitrate :D my 20 cents would have been enough to download it in mp3 @ 128 bits (which was about $0.13)...
but what did i discover? i could chose FLAC encoding.... which makes the track cost $0.61, more than my account balance, but it let me download it anyway, so my account balance now stands at -$0.41!!!
This seems to be a :swear: up on there part, and not a 'nice' feature that will let you spends a few cent's more than your balance as i wasnt able to download individual tracks (available only on one format) that where more than my account balance (before i 'spent' $0.61 on nightwish :D)
whatever happend, i do now owe them money! (and with the BPI trying to sew them they'll get it, not that the BPI has any chance of winning this one, but i would like the chance to stick the :swr:'s up at them for trying).
The download was quite slow, about 30KB/s but i guess its the sort of thing you leave your pc on overnight for when downlaoading albums (or maby it was just that i choose FLAC and it takes ages to encode :P)
PS Nightwish rock \m/ >_< \m/
[ot]
has anybody had any luck getting alltunes to run under wine? AllTunes / Ñäåëàé æèçíü çâîí÷å! (its the software based search client for allofmp3.com, compiled for windows and a few smartphones....)
the Wine AppDB says i need IE to use it, do i really have to install internet explorer under wine? :'( (no wine patches or ff extensions?)
