It is possible the Vault might be available for downloads. What you all think?

Sure this'll be the year that Prince releases the Vault. Yeah, right..

(morris day voice, ala "yount") right....riiiiight.

Don't look so down people..lol

I really hope that this is the case, even if it's only selected downloads (I'll be downloading everything, unless it's anything from the Musicology CD).

Unfortunately, this sounds too good to be true, and I'd imagine that it's going to be everything that would've been on The Chocolate Invasion, instead.

Hope I'm wrong though.

Hmmmm, unedited perfect quality downloads of vault material

Maybe in a perfect world!

I can see it being Xpectation, ONA, High tracks...Chocolate Invasion stuff, like Haystack said.

I've given up on wanting any juicy stuff from NPGMC - if it ever surfaces, great. If not, well...I'll just say it would be nice to have OFFICIAL copies of the vault stuff someday.

You know the cusswords will be edited out.

the pp's have already ruled out mp3's, saying they were doing wma. So all this seems pointless.

kinda like how we all had 96kbps Rainbow Children a month early.

Why pointless? wma's can be burnt onto a CD (which kind of defeats their purpose, cos you can just turn your new CD tracks into mp3s, should you wish to).

I'll bet you all that the downloads are going to be all old stuff we already have. Rehashed stuff from NPGMC years 1-3, maxi singles we already have, etc...

Rule#1 with prince these days, never get your hopes high.

Haystack said:

you can burn WMA to CD. If your CD burning software is old, it may not allow you to without a plugin, but most newer versions do

Poor us.

I assume its only Musicology tracks. Possibly before the physical release in stores.

The Billboard article says it's the "Musicology" tracks.

"OwwWaa!!"

The only track I'll let myself listen to before the album arrives in stores is Musicology.

For the rest, I wanna be surprised completely.

Actually it only said "Musicology" maybe it's just the title song.
