I already filed a dispute. This is incompetence. I do feel like I am part of an exclusive club now because I managed to avoid all of the other fiasco's ie Crystal Ball, etc.. I knew I was rolling dice when I decided to get the songs. I'm at least glad some of you were able to get the songs.

I don't buy digital music. I want the physical copy in my hand. And also learned not to bite on anything prince offers until the kinks get worked out of any new online venture.
With all that said I,m sure y'all will get your .88 eventually. boxed
Prince did an interview with a woman at Record World. They talked about whatever, then he asked her: "Does your pubic hair go up to your navel?" At that moment, we thought maybe we shouldn't encourage him to do interviews.

Prince-land sent me the song this morning via Gmail, two days after purchasing it. lol

I guess showing them proof of my paypal receipt actually worked.

I got the trax no problem. If things messed up, I would file a complaint with PayPal or CC and reorder the right way.

It's only $3 they will refund people. It's not the end of the world. lol

Tonight, I decided to purchase "Breakfast Can Wait" like any good Prince fan. However, when I put in my relevant payment information, I elected *NOT* to make an account with the site, as I was not sure at the time whether or not I wanted to commit to having one on there.

Well, it turns out that decision was a bad one, as I now have *no way* of accessing the song. In order to download the track, I must sign in, and I can't do that without an account, so it appears I'm completely screwed.

It's only $.88 cents, but still...

This is lame! I've got proof via Paypal that I've paid, but it doesn't matter. #frustration

Some people eh? The most simple new website on the interwebs and they still can't cope. Shit for brains. Remember to breathe in and out to continue living people. Or just blame Prince if you pass out.

The problem with this is that the site doesn't offer particularly high bitrate versions of the songs (and definitely not lossless versions) so a youtube rip sadly wouldn't be much worse than the official version.

Of course, at prices like this, I can't justify not paying Prince for his music, but it would be much smarter if he would post higher quality files -- without the clipping.

No confusion, no tears. No enemies, no fear. No sorrow, no pain. No ball, no chain.

Sex is not love. Love is not sex. Putting words in other people's mouths will only get you elected.

If you miss the page with the download links while purchasing (which is easy to do) and finish the process, you're just hung out to dry. When you get the confirmation e-mail and go back to the site, it asks for a log in and password.

I purchased all the new songs, including "Boyfriend" earlier today.. did not register an account (didn't read this thread before), and still have not received an email with my download links.

Then I decided to sign up for a 3rdeyegirl.com account for future purchases, and got my email regarding that instantly.

I don't understand why the email with my downloads would take days to arrive while other 3EG emails arrive instantly.

If the email wasn't going to arrive shortly after purchase, the site should have mentioned that. Since I waited almost 2 weeks after the site opened, any issues should have been fixed by now.

Or am I just stupid and have done something wrong? (I have checked my spam folder).
