I have just DL'd the WAVs and this is the result:

    - Lotusflow3r is zipped twice, so you need to unzip once, rename the resulting file to something.zip, and unzip that again. You are left with two folders - _MACOSX and WAVE; you can delete the _MACOSX immediately and inside the WAVE folder you will find all songs in .WAV format and a file .DS_Store. You can delete the latter and enjoy the rest.
    - MPLSound is seems to be zipped twice as well, but the once-unzipped zip-file is invalid; all you can do is either DL the MP3s or wait for the web "master" to wake up and fix an error that he should have caught while test-running the site (you DID do that, right?)
    - Elixir is zipped, you got it, ONCE; after unzipping you get the _MACOSX and WAVE folders right away. Treat the resulting folders and files as with Lotusflow3r


Hope this helps...

While you are looking at "his royal mugshot"; click the screen and drag to the right gets you to MPLSound galaxy and drag to the left gets you to Elixir galaxy.

^I can't get either WAV or MP3 of MPLSound to work. Both seem corrupted. a great shame, coz I'm now tied to my laptop all day listing to Ol Skool Company on repeat. To Get Lotusflow3r to work, try what Mazze said.

isn't easier to just go to target on the 29th and buy the cd's for $11.98 and avoid all this mess??? i really don't care about the videos or the prefered concert seating....i'll just buy my tickets on my own through ticketmaster or whatever. lol

i know i'm going to buy the cd's at target too but some songs are not on the target version like it is on the site plus i want to see the videos pictures ETC.....


Really?

Ivy, once you've clicked on the wav files to listen, they should just open in iTunes. Do you have something else set as the default for listening on your computer?
iTunes is my default but for some reason, they automatically were playing on WMP.

Yup - just tried again at 6:32 am CDT. Still no luck.

If you disable "Block Pop-Up Windows" in Safari, you will avoid the .php extension entirely and the ZIP files should decompress themselves upon complete download.

I have LotusFlow3r and Elixer downloaded as WAVs so far. I too am having problems downloading MPLSound.

there are three galaxies (or Islands, more like...) each contains one of the albums. The central one...the one you arrive at when you enter the site is the lotusflower one. click to the right of the island, or click and drag, and you'll arrive at mplsound. do the same to the left to go to the elixer galaxy.

Yeah, I've heard other people get that too - sounds like a headache. Ur download should be a zipped folder. don't know what to suggest other than deleting all cookies and temp internet files, and trying a different browser.

me either.. so you got the MP3 files opened and working now?

Hi Ven - Don't know if you got your problem sorted, but the only way I managed it was to download the files in MP3 and file them in my docs, then unzip the files. Set iTunes to be the preferred programme when listening to music. Open your unzipped file then right click and select 'open with' iTunes, then send each mp3 file/song to iTunes - it's a faffy ball ache and you'll have to change each 'track info' to add artist and album to set them all as one album.

Hope this helps hug

The MPLSound album - click on the bird so that it flies and plugs itself in - then click on the guitar strings and the download page comes up.

Elixer - click on the "power" icon.
