I mean you get 1 song in the 3121 room. 1 song you have already in good quality on CD. What is the point? And sometimes it's not even a GOOD song. I can think of a ton of stuff that could be played.

The reflection room is "a little better". But that has 2 songs in it. Do club member actually play these songs over and over?

The video room is cool. I like that.

i guess it's more for the fans who don't have everything like a lot of us do. something for the younger fans, maybe? or something to jog the memories of older fans so we'll drag out that copy of whateveritis that we haven't listened to in forever.

i dunno. that's the sense i make of those rooms. i don't expect rare vault stuff anymore, but it's kinda nice when they post old 12" mixes and b-sides.

true. if there are any young fans that actually join the club. usually i consider fan clubs to be for those that really like an artist. i think my question revolves around the "just one" factor.

Just one song in a room that is open on the weekends. One would think it'd be special...worth the wait til the weekend. And certain have more to keep you listening/exploring around. And why have a special player that looks like there might be another song to skip too...but no.

There's no doubt these 'room's are underused. But even if something rare WAS posted there, the sound quality is low so that would be the next thing to complain about!

It's completely daft having a website where you can't get your nose in the door without paying upfront. The members section should be an extra area WITHIN the main site. If you had free access to the reflection room, I think there would be less complaints about it playing tunes most fans already have. For the $25 entry fee, most people expect something more than easily available tunes, especially when there aren't many exclusive concert tickets to be had.

I don't even care about anything rare. put up a 10 song/1hr radio thingy and I'd be a happy camper.

In the past there have been new unreleased songs too, but not often though.
Just enough to keep me checking it out every weekend.
If you still don't care.....your free to not go there.....
