my setup: firefox on mac. i signed up this morning and everything went relatively smoothly. mp3 versions of the albums downloaded without too much trouble, though the transfers were a bit slow. videos played fine (even if the old promo videos especially looked like they were sourced from vhs copies). the only glitch i experienced was sluggish navigation and the photo orb under the LotusFlow3r section got stuck with the purple ticket on top of it, which seemed to cause a lot of the photo and video thumbnails not to load.

i checked my bank account and my card was only charged once. unlike back in 2001 when i was charged several times every month for my club membership.

* low voice * "the wise one charged the fan's credit card several times" * low voice *

i guess it's time to retire that joke.
