MainStreetMusic and LiquidAudio - pay for content, get NOTHING

[sfsdfd]

Holy fuck, this is astoundingly frustrating. I bought three audio tracks from MainStreetMusic.com, and they happily took my credit card number and provided some download links.

Only, the links don't work - they just provide the following message: "We apologize, but the system has encountered unexpected problems. Please try again in a few moments."

I sent emails to customer service at both places. I have been promised a reply within "three business days," which is just awesome, since the download links EXPIRE right around then. That's right, if their message isn't helpful, I will probably lose the opportunity to download the tracks I paid for.

What a buch of imbeciles. Their pay service has a lower yield than Kazaa. No wonder people pirate music - it's actually much less of a hassle than buying the content!

:grunt:

It's twelve hours later. I still can't download anything - via any of the three machines I've tried.

What a complete rip-off. I could've downloaded these from KaZaa in maybe ten minutes.

Call up your credit card and dispute the charges. No service = no reason they should have your cash.

Yeah, that crossed my mind about 20 seconds after the first "temporarily unavailable" message. But it's not the money - after all, it's only three tracks, not exactly breaking the bank - just the concept that I <i>wanted</i> these tracks, I <i>found</i> them, I <i>bought</i> them, and now the fucking place <i>isn't giving them to me.</i> I'm incredibly pissed off.
