What a rip off...

What the hell is the point to pay $7.77 to download songs that I cannot even burn to CD to listen to in my car? Now I am suppose to buy the damn CD too. thanks prince it's not like the damn songs are not on Kazaa anyways which can be copied to CD, that is the last dime you get from me. I will be selling my concert tickets too. I don't want to have nothing to do with this music club anymore.

1) You can burn them to CD
2) No-one's forcing you to buy the CD
3) So now you don't want to see him in concert? Are you crazy?
4) It's $7.77! Get over it!

Even I have to say that this moan is a little harsh...ask yourself would NPGMC really be so bald as to sell downloads for burning when they dont really work on cd...or more to the point do NPGMC dislike you so much that every other member is allowed to burn except you?

"You also have to keep in mind that Prince is doing the best he can under the circumstances and his music has to come at a price."

"We the fams have to keep him going."

"I am sure it is tough on him but I for one think he is doing the right thing, it is HIS music and nobody but him should own the rights to his work, he had the guts to do something that no other artist that I know of would do and I respect him for that and will support the NPG 100%."

"Just remember if everyone stopped suporting him then what would happen, he needs our support so let's give it to him."

"Just believe in him."

Not my words, O WyseOne, you understand. I seem to think you said them.

There are ways to convert the files to mp3 so you can listen to them anywhere. If you are too lazy to research this and figure this out, that is one thing. But I love buying the album for $7.77 online and listening to it wherever I want.

langebleu, you're my hero!!!

And RupertZ's right...in fact, you don't even have to convert them to mp3s in order to burn them to a CD and play them in your car. Why are you having a problem with it?

Not So WyseOne,

I have Downloaded the $7.77 files, burned to CD and converted to MP3 (as backup...not to share). I have also purchased the actual CD from the store for $9.99, then when I go to the Prince concert with the ticket I payed $75 or so dollars for, plus the additional $25 for the club I will get my free CD and be just as happy. Instead of complaining, did you ever think that maybe it was pure operator error. Do some research before you start complaining and blowing Prince off, maybe, just maybe u might actually get some help.

Welcome to the Dawn

Since the WyseOne, doesn't seem to know (oxymoron?). I'm not afraid to admit, I'm havin difficulty, burning any club material to CD. Does it require some 'good' burning software, or the standard stuff you get with Windows; like Media Player and Real Player. Thus far I'm using the previous two, and havin a hell of a time converting and burning. I think I'm gonna go and buy some 'Nero' or 'Creative' software.

Let me know what ya think.

usually windows media player should be enough. when I'm having problems, I just re-record it to a new file.

Ditto, WMP9. I was having problems too, but I just went into the Chatrooms at NPGMC and someone told me how. Never hurts to just simply ask.
