Which Is Worse?

The wait for CDs to arrive in the mail or the wait for the monthly downloads to finish downloading?

Wait for the downloads to finish downloading?
If they get their server (bandwidth!) thingie right it's no waiting. They could spread the downloads among the members, etc, etc.
With regard the CD's they just need to specificay clearly what's to be expected and when we'll get it.
Let's say 4 CD's. That could be one before the end of each quarter? Etc, etc. Clear, no nonsense memberships.

I feel it would be worst to be a lover of the music of Prince, and be a non-member waiting for when it "hits the stores", if it hits the stores, or begging others who actually support the production of his music, for a copy.

So to me, CD or download...both are cool. The NPGMC is an online club, therefore I assume Internet access and a place to download any music from it is a requirement - to me.

Anytime something is mailed, it's cat n mouse that it gets to you - wrong address, you weren't home, damage in transit, etc.

So everything has pro's and cons. It's all a matter of whether or not you want to be in the club, and the patience to deal the hand you chose.
