Stupid question: Where are the videos? I can't find them.


Click on his face. In about ten minutes, an orb of images will load. Some of those images are pictures. Some are videos. Click on a video, and in another ten minutes, it might load. Or it might not. Even if it does, it won't play right. Enjoy!


Ah thanks. I assumed they were ALL static images. D'oh. Not a big fan of the mystery navigation.

I'm absolutely loving Lotusflow3r, up to track 5 and no problems and no duffers so far, best I've heard in a long time from Prince.
RIP sad

I'm confused about something, and maybe this question is answered on another thread so apologies in advance, but...

how did people (here on the Org, which is where I read to do it) know to put in "1986" and "Los Angeles" into the fields on the ticket? If someone who doesn't come to the Org goes to lotusflow3r to join up, how are they supposed to know what year/city to put in? confuse



year is in the video/tv thing and shows are in LA. that guy in the radio says it. just tried and turned out to work.

you don't have to be a prince fan to have a brain


how do you figure out either? I figured out Los Angeles because I follow Prince enough to know where he's at. I really have no idea where 1986 came from. 2009 was my only guess, I had to come on this thread to get the year to use.

what's the deal with this "download_gp.php" thing when you go to download the wav albums?

It's a zip file, my download is showing as download_gp.php.zip.



mine doesn't show the ".zip" part, but we'll see what happens. hopefully there's music in there lol

The glitches need to be worked out. They should not have said the videos would be available tonight either.

Why would Prince pick "everytime" to be the first single from Bria's cd?! This is one of the more weaker tracks on the cd.
It is what it is

How far has your download got? Mines at 350mb but the speed seems to be dropping as everyone else gets logged on smile. Be nice if they told us how big the files were, not an issue for me, would just like to know first.

OK, this is lame. I can't navigate between the songs. I can't go directly to "Feel Good, Feel Better, Feel Wonderful".

I can't download the albums I guess I paid $77 for.

There is nothing under the LOOK tab.

Where are the concert videos?

So far, this is not what I expected. I'll be patient and try again tomorrow, but it sure better deliver more than this.

European Master Card here and no luck. Maybe it's the billing address field that is corrupt? I've got "/" and "-" in the address..... What's up with that all?

This is what happens when graphic designers think they can make websites. When you set out to make a great website, start by looking at the best WEBSITES that are out there, not the best DVD menu screens.

Leaving aside the numerous technical faults which we have to assume will get resolved in time, the site is still a bit of a mess isn't it?

I'm sure it is perfectly usable running locally on the designer's Mac, but as a live internet site... yikes. The loading times are frequently measured in minutes, not seconds. It's all so stuttery, with such rotten framerates, even on quite a well specced computer. The layout is so messy, it's an unholy blend of all the very worst of Prince's interactive efforts - Interactive, The Dawn, NPG Music Club etc.

It suffers heavily from "mystery meat navigation" too - what will clicking on the pyramid get me, or clicking on the building? Is that thing clickable?

The sad thing is, someone charged Prince a lot of money to make this site, a site which literally no one will enjoy using. We'll put up with it to get to the music or concert tickets, but it is a horrible site to actually navigate.

I'm STILL annoyed that I gotta pay shipping on my T-shirt. That ain't right.

But the dulcet tones of the guitar are calming me down. I'm having fun just playing with it and watching the jellyfish float.

Everybody make sure and read the Terms & Conditions so that there won't be any pissing and moaning about refunds/replaced tracks/content availability, etc..

btw...regarding being able to re-download tracks, I've found that with my Amazon mp3 downloads, I can't download them again either without repurchasing. I haven't ever bought mp3s from other sites, so I don't know if that is now a 'standard' or what.
