Re: One & Only BMG Music Service Thread (Part 5)
It sure seems like BMG doesn't appreciate it's customers. Whatever happened to good old "customer service"??

Speaking of Melody Gardot, check out her story and her music in the following video. (Especially jazz fans.)
http://wimp.com/musicalgirl/
I had never heard of her or her music but after having viewed the video, I found her to be very intriguing and thought I'd check her out. I was very pleased to find that her "Worrisome Heart" CD was available via BMG.

Add Public Enemy - "Fear of a Black Planet" to that list as well. Order date was 1/23/09, got an email on 2/18 saying that it is still on backorder. They still show it listed for sale...

I got the email. I thought they would make a bigger pitch for yourmusic.com. Maybe they save the hard sell for later. I'll wait for incentives.

I just got my e-mail about the closing of the club today. It seems like they did not just set up one mass email and hit send, but are rather doing it more staggered.

Re: One & Only BMG Music Service Thread (Part 5)
I'm jealous of the codes, etc. It had occurred to me a month or two ago to join BMG, and lo! I find its closing. I've had to watch this thread as people mine the depths for quality music.
Is there anyone that is completely done with their account, or has multiple accounts, that would let me hijack it? I would log in, change password, input my credit card number, change delivery address, etc.
I would *really* appreciate it (at least looking around on the site). I have heard there is some good jazz (some of the RVG Blue Note releases) on there. Please PM me if you've exhausted the BMG stacks and are feeling generous!

I don't think it would be possible to radically change an already established BMG Music Service account. I think it would definitely raise a few "red flags".

People move, don't they? I'm not sure what kind of system they would have where someone notices a new credit card with a new address. I find that extremely unlikely. And if it were noticed, I doubt they would care. Won't they want to be dumping their inventory? Anyway, oh well...

I'm guessing the name change on the address as well as on the credit card might. Maybe the best way to handle it would be for the account owner to have the CDs sent to the other individual and then work out some way for that individual to pay the account owner. Paypal perhaps?

There is no reason for BMG Music to dump their inventory since Yourmusic and BMG Music are both owned by the same company. (They both also share the same inventory and warehouse.)
