Major problems with Xpectation album

Can anyone help. I can't download the album. It starts to download for about 5 seconds and then a notice pops up saying it cannot download because the site is either unavailable or cannot be found. I have e-mailed NPG twice over this and they have tried to help but in vain. They have now told me to e-mail the help section of the club so I am waiting to hear from them.

Have any of U got an idea as to how I can download it? I have just downloaded "Empty Room" with no problem.

Have you asked the NPGMC nicely if they wouldn't mind e-mailing the files to you? It may not work, but it's just a thought.

Are you opening the file in a new window and then right clicking and save target as?? I am sure you are but just checking. I had this problem 3/4 times and just kept trying and it eventually worked.
Good Luck.

I did have problem too, but it was due to my firewall, they sent this response.

I didn't have 2 sign-in!

That's the funny thing about the people listing all these websites here at prince.org.

Just anyone can access the NPGMC without signing-in and without being a member!

Then everyone wonders why Prince and NPGMC can't trust the members.

You can't. And if you can, it's a security flaw with their site and the onus is on NPGMC to fix it. However you can't. I'm not a member and I can't access the music from those links, and rightly so.

You still have the problem? With the description of the error message you give it seems you use Right Button Click and the option Save Target As... from the download page with the list of songs.
You should first click on the LO or HI link with the left button and in the pop up window use the right button and option Save Target As... on the presented link.

Good luck.

I was having the same problem , what fixed it 4 me was to do the following -

1.Go2 downloads page
2.Left click on the link to open it
3.Right click on the newly opened link (in a smaller window)
4.Select "save target as" and select a folder to save it in


Enjoy!

I have already done the things u tell me to do. I have already received all the e-mails from the npgmc that u have posted- and more. I am going to try the cutting and pasting method as that is the only thing I haven't tried. Fingers crossed...

PS: Thanx everyone for the help

Well it must be a flaw Ian because it's not prompting any password and username. I'm a member but I haven't set cookies to remember my password. I do remember last year when I wasn't a member using links on here to get into member areas and it worked fine.

Are you out of your mind? First you say you're not a member and then you say you are. I think you're just taking the piss out of poor Ian...

The particular link referenced in this thread can be accessed by everyone... Including non-members. Now, I would be surprised if you could access the acual song links without being prompted for username and password.

Hmmm. I know when I go to it now it prompts me for my details. But I remember the first time I did it I managed to get to the page but couldn't download. After a night of trying repeatedly I managed to download the tracks. I'm pretty sure that time I didn't use my username and password, and it was only later that I started being prompted. I could be wrong.

Of course, when I say 'last year' I don't mean last year. I mean the year before that. lol Still trying to get used to 2003, sorry. No wait, I do mean last year. I am a member now, and have been since about September 2002, so what I said is fine.

Remember that ONA live trailer with 1+1...? Should non-mebers have been able to view that? Just curious as to how it all works because I remember watching that before I was a member.
