it really is beyond me that our pre-order downloads arent up yet. this is just ridiculous. i would have bought We Dance on iTunes at Midnight had i known
this was going to happen. i mean i'm glad im going to be getting the actual discs eventually, but this is just absurd that the downloadable content is not
ready for us... seeing as we are now WELL into Tuesday.

Where the person got that version of Dynamo is totally beyond me. I happened to come across it in my search for "Happy Endings". Which I know is
"non-shareable" but I'm sure that version of Dynamo wasn't supposed to be out there. So I guess it never hurts to look.

one hour I believe!
FINALLY! That man better be right... or so help me!!!!!!! |

The Start Download link is up, and I foolishly clicked on it (didn't see this post before), and there was nothing in in and scared me for a minute. lol

ZARMgrl41 wrote: Well, so they're only 12 hours behind... Not bad in the grand scheme, but certainly minor-league professionalism for a site that makes a living off rabid music fans. Here's another frustration. If one gets the iTunes EPs, you'll get them again if you order the deluxe edition off itunes. Worst yet, you can get them now for $8 or wait and pay $4 more over the regular album price. Or look at it as the album plus $4 for the "We Steal THings" EP plus the 2 itunes exclusive bonus tracks. I'm still burned up over the 2 iTunes bonus tracks. I am giving musictoday $45 (plus shipping) and I still have to buy those two tracks from iTunes by purchasing the full album at $13.99 and it will only be at 128kps AAC. At least the Musictoday digital downloads are 256 AND DRM-free MP3 files. It's a shame he isnt' releasing these EPs and the albums in Itunes plus, as his type of music really benefits from the extra quality encoding. Ooooh those harmonies!! I love Jason and his music but the record company politics stuff is utter crap and I hope he is able to go independent soon, a la Radiohead's release. Heck, even the "Selections For Friends" release. I kind wish he'd just have done a double album, one disc of the "regular" the other the acoustic EPs complied, and then perhaps a digital-only download EP of whatever else he wants to get rid of (Gypsy MC, etc). Anyway, with that my rambling rant winds to an end. I DID send Musictoday and email saying that to offer a pre-order (which is clearly aimed at the most rabid of Jason's fans) and then make it available later in the day is setting them up to drive people like us to iTunes where we can get it at midnight for less money and drama. I don't expect to hear back but maybe if enough people express their thoughts on the matter at least the album will be available in the early morning on its release date.

i sent a similar email. it's absolutely ridiculous and if the album download is like this (since my package will be a couple days after the 13th, i think)
things could get dangerous.
and i'm also pretty pissed about the bonus tracks. but after all the frustration, i can't help but be reminded that in the grand scheme of things, 12 hours is nothing, life is still amazing, and the mere fact that we get these EPs at all is a gift and an honor. i'm cooling off now.

Whoops. Sorry. They upped the price of the deluxe edition to 19.99. I'm not sure if I feel better or worse about that... At least the EPs aren't
getting the heavy "waiter" discount that kinda felt like price gouging the die-hards who want the new EPs NOW. However, now to get the 2 bonus tracks
the price per track has jumped up to 9.98 each should I decide to buy it just for those two. And I'm a completist collector. The odds are leaning towards
"buy."

Ugh... mine is not working. I called back to musictoday and no one seems to know what's going on... I should have known.
Here's what's happening to me: When it finally said I could begin downloading the EP, I clicked on 'start download' and then the system checked from my java plugin which was successful. I again was able to click 'start download' and was taken to the screen which allowed me to put the downloads into a specific folder. At the bottom of this screen when I again clicked 'start download' the download process would not even begin and automatically said 'downloads complete' without even downloading them at all. They are not anywhere in the folders I specified them for and did not even show any song titles/ download information about the songs at all. It simply said "downloads complete' at the top of the 'Download Manager' Box. Anyone have any ideas?! I'm feeling helpless...

yeah...it seems they have made the link available but haven't actually uploaded the files for download...so i'm guessing they SHOULD have them for
download in a few hours.
Stupid me..in my rush of excitment...i saw the "start download" link and quikly rushed to my friends house across the road to download (as i have a mac and the site doesn't let you download onto a mac) and i get there and there is nothing to download HAHAH next time i'll make sure the files are there :P

OK well called CS & talked to a guy who said that he's getting LOADS of calls all having this exact same problem. He forwarded my order information to
his digital download specialist who will email me back with information on what to do...
Not for nothing but I am with whoever ^ on maybe page 115 said in the future iTunes would just get my business. I love Jason & really wanted the actual discs but this is crazy, I don't just have all day to worry about downloads. Music today phone # 1-877-687-4277 Make sure to have your order # & Customer ID # when you call Good luck everyone :P
