Many off my AIX dvda disc are tripple releases with both DVDA DVD and CD the dvd jam packed with interviews live video etc and other content like behind the scene stuff, all lot of text to navigate on the screen etc some also have an autograph in limited edition. i have some limited ed autographed cd's too. then we have HD tracks ? What do I have to do to actually get their stuff. 1. They don't really sell outside US but i managed by using my paypal account as usual. 2. They use a horrible download manager thats a java based completely useless thing, to offend thier custommers, this often quits and crash for no reason. Today it did not work at all on my OS , ubuntu 10.04 and firefox. Whats wrong with rigth click save as... 3. To actually get my files I had to start a virtual machine with a cracked XP running on it, and use the vm to download ? And tranfer the files from there. 4. As alway it takes an eternity to download, the bottleneck was at thier end as usual I did not came close to a fraction off my own bandwith limit , so that the file is large and therefore slow to dl is bogus, they cheap out of bandwith. Next time I probably have to stand on one leg singing I'm a little Teapot during the whole proedure ? I wear my little audiphile hat now when i listening to the files, it looks very similar to a dunce cap , very similar. :) -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
