Just dandy...

[Andrew G. Doe]

Can't buy the new expanded physical version of Postcard from amazon.com, and nor can I buy the 15-track download from the UK. Nice, amazon - love you too. 

[Jay]

Why not? It seems that it'll let me. Did you try to order from the UKor US? You could try a US import.

[The Shift]

Ordered from amazon uk back on September 1. Well, you might have seen the thread ...  have considered re-ordering from .com  though as there's  no sign yet of the order being fulfilled. Uk price has virtually tripled in the time since I ordered.

Bought the Waves of Love bonus from iTunes as I was too impatient to wait. That worked, at least.

At the moment, the words "Big Sur", "Shambles" and "A Shame" are on the tip of my tongue...

Just bought the UK download - and the fucking thing won't play !  

[SMiLE Brian]

What the heck is going with a download not playing?

[The Shift]

Just bought the UK download - and the f*cking thing won't play ! 

Amazon or iTunes?

[runnersdialzero]

Doesn't make sense :\ I'm gonna guess it's either MP3 or m4a format?

[The Shift]

Is there some fluff on your needle, perhaps?

How well versed are you in digital audio? Did you download the .flac version? Those files won't function on a lot of media players.

I bought it last night of iTunes (uk) and the track "Drivin" skips to the next track after 45 seconds - with approx 2:30 of the track left to play :-(

Have emailed iTunes to report the problem.

OK, I am going to admit that the Brits are really getting screwed at this point. Sorry guys...

[Jaspy]

Yes, that's not fair. I feel really sorry for you guys.

Yeah, but they got the BWPS Smile premiere, it evens out in a way...

[STE]

Well I'm not allowed to download from Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.de and the album is not even on Amazon.it.
Beside iTunes, does anyone know any European/unrestricted site where Waves of Love can be downloaded?

Since it seems the cd won't be arriving any time soon..

Thanks!

[Tord]

You can buy the download version from Spotify and the CD from WOWHD.

I downloaded a .flac file once, and it just about killed my computer - I won't be using that format again, ever. The big problem was the files seemed to have an .amz extension, and nothing would play it. Amazon have refunded my dosh, but that's not the point - I wanted the album.

Apparently the .amz file is to be opened with their Music Downloader. http://www.amazon.com/gp/dmusic/help/amd.html

It's pretty lame that they won't just allow you to download the mp3s without jumping through hoops, but I guess they have their reasons...

Why can't ya'll just buy the CD from newberry comics?

.amz? Good lawd, that's goofy.

FLAC isn't too hard to handle at all. Not sure what program you're using, but in most cases it's just a matter of downloading an easily found plugin and dropping it in a particular folder. Give it a try some other time if you have the patience.

If yer using iTunes, well. God have mercy on your soul (and RAM)

Someone here sent me a .flac file, told me it was the best and easiest way. I followed their instructions to the letter, downloaded the player, and my computer pretty much stopped working on the spot, and it took three days to get to working properly again. In the words of a very wise man, well f*** that, thank you. Turns out the player had a codec in it that my OS didn't like. Never again.

Newbury Comics.  I had to correct it, they got a lot of my money in Boston when I was younger.

Because they only ship within US....

If they're still available, presuming it's the signed booklet you want, we can order a bunch of them and I'll send them to you. (You're paying all the charges, of course.)

I can't understand how a .flac file screws up a computer. It's superior to Mp3's and is one of the best, if not the best, lossless formats available. When downloading, I've always preferred it over any other compressed file, and I've run it with Windows XP Sp3, Vista, and Windows 7. I currently play the .flac files with VLC Player and have had zero problems with it.

Maybe the file you had contained a virus, Andrew, or it somewhow conflicted with a system file. Can't think of any other reason it would have been a showstopper for your computer.

Maybe the download was interrupted, and the player software took exception to a partial file?
