You type in 1986 not 09. It will automatically change the page.

Yeah, the wav package seems to be broken, that's the only one I can't get to download/extract successfully.

I am still unable to extract the files. Anyone have a clue?

So after hours waiting i've been able 2 suscribe.

I've dosnloaded the albums with no difficulty (thanx God)

But i just can't watch any of the video. The streaming won't work, it's cut every second & contrarly 2 Youtube or Dailymotion there's no way i can just wait 4 the streaming bar 2 complete b4 i read the video, it won't work anyway.

4 now i've paid $77 4 3 albums that r sold $11 in record store & that's it (i don't even consider the pictures as counting, who'd pay $77 4 a few pix.)

That website is way 2 heavy even 4 my fast connection. I'd rather have a humbler site like NPGMC 2001 that would WORK.

DAMMIT!!!

Has anyone successfully downloaded mplsound yet?

Yeah I didn't have a problem, after I managed to get through the idiotic 'riddle'. I'm Mac based, not sure if that makes any difference.

Mars23 said:

Yes on the mp3s, but not the wav files.

Now there are even people who have several debitings from their credit card from their failed attempts... (up to 23)...

how did you get these to your ipod? once downloaded, i get no option to unzip and it will not open or play. also, it can not be dragged to itunes - please share your secret!

Wow, so far I'm impressed with the website and the new music! Lotusflow3r is working except for the last track on the WAV version (can't extract that file, but the MP3 version is fine). WAV versions of Elixer and MPLSOUND failed completely.. Maybe they got jetlag on their way to Norway?

When I finally managed to solve the riddle there was no problem for me to create an account and pay I did get a error message after my first attempt to pay but the second attempt worked, don't know what the problem was though. But the entire site seem to slow down my computer, very annoying.

Does anybody know what that t-shirt looks like?

Hello...I was able to pay by credit card with no problem (yesterday) and my user name and password was excepted,but I cannot get past the first web-page. I try to log on with my user name and password (which in excepts) and it keeps going to the first page in which I am unable to click on anything. Has anybody else had this issue and what can I do about it?
I even went back to the sign-up page and inserted my user name and password to see if it was being used, and it stated that it was, so I'm sure I was registered properly. Although, I never received a confirmation email saying I was a member. Has anyone received a confirmation of membership email?
Any info is greatly appreciated!!
Thanks....Michele

So the MPLSound WAV file is still jacked up?

NuPwrSoul said:

That's the rumor. Wouldn't you think that with 2+ months to plan, the one thing that would have been TESTED for sure was that the music downloads for the new albums worked properly?

The day Prince will hire capable people hasn't come. From the Paisley Park days 2 lotusflow3r.com, Prince has always relied on people that he decided were safe when they actually were totally amateurish & unexperimented. The complete fiasco that this website's launch is was, un4tunately, predictable: just nothing works correctly on this damn website!

After all my difficulties 2 have my CC accepted & my present unability 2 watch any of the videos, earlier 2day i also was stuck on the purple ball 4 almost 10 minutes after i logged in. It's a plain miracle that i was able 2 download & unzip the 3 albums without trouble considering everything i read here. The whole site's navigation is a disaster, everything is way too heavy 4 both internet connections and average computers.

Now the question is, how long b4 they (& WILL they) fix it?

Tell me about it... I've downloaded it three times already hoping each time that it'll work. MP3 version works fine but the WAV version somehow ends prematurely (got the WAVs for the others quite fine).

And of course the site does not have a troubleshooting section.

This really is amateurish. I'm sorry but I'm not going to make excuses for a multimillionaire artist/wannabe businessman who is clearly quite able at cutting deals with retailers, touring companies, etc., but unable to deliver something he is touted (and touts himself) for as a "pioneer" on the 'net.

And it's $77! Get yo shit together Prince this ain't 1996 with thedawn.com and bediscream@aol

I just wanted to say a big thank you to all here for your advice on negotiating through lotusflow3r. Its 2.15 am in manchester and thanks to your advice, i have just managed to download mpls sound (1st one) The rest will have to wait till morning.
good night all.

those were the days, huh?

errant said:

yes it was cute then cuz we were all babies
but now we're grownass folks dont have time for games lol

DAMN! I want my mp3's! Is his people gonna get on this or what!?

I downloaded the MPLS and Lotus Flow3r albums without hassle as MP3s. Elixir keeps dropping out on me - but will get back to that.

I'm on a mac - I simply double click the file - it unzips and gives me an album folder with the tracks. Just drag and drop the whole folder to itunes and it will load.

To be on the safe side I also burnt each album onto CD.

The only issue I had was LF only had track names, not artist or album info. MPLS had it all.

I then went to wiki and downloaded the cover art (i think it could have been included in the zip files).

No issues transferring to the ipod.

Swa

Couldn't sign up this morning as well...

I was unable to download any of the wav or mp3 files either, using IE. Then i tried google chrome, and that worked like a charm.. downloading as we speak

Also, the whole flash thing seemed to runmuch smoother.. so give it a shot!

Question: Those of you who got charged several times, have you hread anything from Scott & co about it? Is it possible to get some money back?

For me, it is still impossible to subscribe with a German credit card.

Yes, the WAVs worked for me, finally!

The same for me. Still not signed up! (Germany, MasterCard)
