Not being happy with this months NPGMC release, I sended the NPGMC this email:
Henno
My name is Henno, you know me, I always sended you positive emails
about what was happening at the NPGMC.
But I'm afraid I won't be that positive this time.
The idea of the NPGMC was, as far as I know, to give the fans new and
unreleased music. Great idea.
That immediately explains my problem with this months release.
Let's start at the top:
-The first track, 'Gamillah'. I recall a Cdsingle I have at home
called 'The Daisy Chain', with B-side 'Gamillah'. Why release it
again? It is RELEASED, we have it, we don't need to download it!
- Second track: Dolphin -VIDEO. Now where have I seen that before? I
know, on TV! Did I see it once? Or twice? No, I've seen it a million
times. And besides that, isn't this video is in the Prince special
from VH1 'Love 4 One Another'? And is on the 'The Undertaker' video, a
little doubt there? Second track on the NPGMC this month, second track
that is already RELEASED!
-Thirth track: Silicon. No problem there. It's not released, or is it?
I remember a NPGAhdio show that contains this track? Well I guess
that's policy, first release it on the Ahdio show, and later
seperately. RELEASED as well.
-The fourth, The Ahdio Show. Don't waste my time on discussing that,
it doesn't have to contain unreleased tracks, and it doesn't.
-Fifth, 'High': Well, released in the Ahdio show as well, but it's
nice to have the real-deal for this one. OK, can live with that. But
RELEASED
-Number six: PoorGoo: Did someone say already RELEASED? Definetly
RELEASED on video.
-Seventh, Get Off: YEAH! Never seen that one before! Thumbs up to you
guys! One truely UNRELEASED track!
The score so far:
SIX mp3's: FIVE are already RELEAED and ONE is not.
THREE video's: TWO are RELEASED and ONE is not.
I know what your reply will be, that not every fan already owns a copy
of the Dolphin video or PoorGoo and things like that. Well, maybe not
every fan already own the 'Purple Rain' album. Can't wait to download
that album from the NPGMC next month. Or maybe release the Alphabet
st. video or that Country-like Song from that Ahdio show, you can
release that seperately!
Something else, that just isn't right, is releasing both video and mp3
from the same recording. Releasing new songs and video's, does not
mean releasing the video as well as the mp3 from the SAME recording.
There as dozens of programs that allow you to convert .mov files to
.mp3 files. Releasing both video and mp3 from the same recording is
VERY WEAK and a farce as well. When yu say that you release video's as
well as mp3's it means different video's and mp3's.
I'm sorry. If I look back on a year NPGMC, I'm am very satisfied with
it. You released great songs and video's and I'm glad I could be part
of it.
This moth though, is just a farce. Remember, we don't have a contract,
but there is this law, that says that when an agreement is made
between a vendor and a customer, both the vendor and the customer have
to do their part of the agreement. The agreement was, that I pay $100
a year and your part of the agreement was that you supply unreleased
music in certain quantities each month, both video's and audio tracks.
As far as I can see, I did my part of the deal flawless, but you just
don't do your part as promised.
I do not ask you to change this month's release, let's just see it as
a little mistake you made, but I do like to see that next month will
be better. If there will be a next month that means. If not, I want
what I think I deserve, and that is a refund. If you don't give me,
what you say you will give me, then that's a violation of my rights as
a buyer.
OK, that's what I needed to tell you. But again, I don't dislike the
NPGMC, I think it's great. I just have a big problem with this month.
It's a farce.

Dude, I may have been very critical in the past, but I sure appreciate
everything they have released in mp3 form that has been in previous
Ahdio shows. Hence the Ahdio show is a "BONUS", so if you get a sample
or snippet, fine. But then again, the Ahdio show quality doesn't match
up to the "High Quality" version, nor does using one of "dozens of
programs that allow you to convert .mov files to mp3 files" is certainly
not going to equate to a decent version, you're looking at 128kbps at
best.
Secondly, you're in The Netherlands correct? Hmmm, did you fly over for
one of the few Hit N Run shows that actually sold the CD Singles? I bet
many people didn't, and not to mention, there are many in the US that
don't even have them, so unless you want to shop eBay! you're not going
to OWN one of those CD's. So I'd say it's pretty nice of them to include
songs that not everyone was able to buy, even though it would be much
nicer to put them up for sale in the retail section for Premium Members.
Thirdly, base membership is 3 songs, 1 bonus track & an Ahdio show.
That's it.
We got:
Ahdio show
4 regular MP3's (1 more than they have to give)
1 Bonus MP3
2 Video Files (they didn't have to give us)
1 Bonus Video
So in total we got 1 more MP3 than they had to give us, and 3 Video's
they didn't have to give us.
And your bitching again why???

As if the NPGMC MP3s are that good -- even @ 256 most of them are
average at best. Bad codec, bad source, crap sound.

That 1 is the soundtrack to one of the MOV files. Which is a nice

One package?? They are two SEPERATE files man. We can be THAT nitpicky man.
The past two months we've gotten a BUNCH of stuff. I only wish the whole
year was as good as the last two months and the videos have improved MUCH in
quality. As for the mp3s...they sound DAMN good in my car and on my stereo,
they are far from sounding like crap. Believe me, earlier this year thats
all we got from the NPGMC.

When they sold back months to new members it was just basic files

they no longer offer the option of purchasing previous months, basic or

No Ernie, it's a "retroactive" thing-if you signed up after the first month,
you can retroactively obtain previous months instead of waiting for future
months, hence ending your membership in january.

With the same content.
>As for the mp3s...they sound DAMN good in my car and on my stereo,
>they are far from sounding like crap.
One of these days I'm gonna design a comparison test where I'll take
the "high" versions of the NPGMC MP3s of tracks that were on those
singles sold earlier this year at concerts, I'll also take the 320 k
MP3s made by a fan, and I'll make MP3s of those songs myself with the
original CDs as the source. I'll also make wavs of the original
sources (logical, because I'll use these wavs to make my MP3s).
Then I'll decompress the MP3s into wavs (with the latest version of
WinAmp, unless someone has a better piece of software to do this).
Then I'll cut out a couple of short clips from each of these wavs with
CDWave (of course, the same clips from each wav). I'll compile them
into one wav per "version" (NPGMC MP3/fan MP3/my MP3/wav) and post
these on a website or put them on abmp.
Then I'll ask you all to compare these clips by listening to them.
Don't cheat by comparing these wavs in pro audio software, just
*listen* to them, and order them by what you percieve to be the best
sound quality. Post your opinions here or even better, I'll log them
on a webpage. Each result will be public, so people wil be able to see
that there are no bogus results there.
I'll add them up, and publish the ranking.
Anyone wanna bet that the NPGMCs will be last?
My point? The NPGMCs MP3s are okay at best, but often (ahdio shows,
TRC,...) they're not even. Why? Because the people behind NPGMC are
cheap and incompetent.

Go for it. I mean, I'll agree that TRC in 128 SUCKED on my car stereo, when
I got the CD version it made all the difference, but any mp3 that is 192kbps
or above is pretty damn good to me.

Very true Bart, but hey I have to say the NPGMC has improved over this year.
Took long enough yes, but the vids look so much better and they SUCKED MUCHO
ASSHOLIO just a few months ago, right Bart?? Same with the mp3s, they were
128 when this shit started, INTOLERABLE!! Also, we were barely getting the
bare minimum if minimum at all, seeing like 3-4 files at the most for a
month sometimes. Now I see like 5-7 files up. Not bad, I mean of course it
all could be better, but I rate the NPGMC so far a steady "B" for
improvement.

Yes, it's not as crappy as it was. But then again, it's still not up
to the standards that it should have started out with, and plenty of
times there's enough to complain about (last month's audio is still in
crappy quality, files that change without NPGMC bothering to tell
anyone, etc).

I thought you were happy with Quicktime? When everyone was calling QT crap,
you were like the only one defending it as software that was capable of
having great quality. I didn't believe you, till I saw Joey Coco's upload of
that Moulin Rouge song with them hookers, that looked GOOD!! Still, the new
Prince QT files look damn good.
> Smoke and mirrors. It's still the bare minimum.
LOL! I guess its how you look at it. Some ppl are pretty happy with the new
format cause it seems like we are getting more files, but I gotta give it up

And it is. But it's not the right format for this *commercial*
enterprise. But then again, I don't like the idea of downloads in the
first place, NPGMC should provide us with hardware, i.e. CDs. The
downloads should be incentives, tasters for the real thing.
Instead of arsing about for months and whining that members should
bring on more members, NPGMC should have thought abut the reasons why
so many people don't feel it is worthwhile enough to join.

No, it's just applying the rules and promises NPGMC had from the
start. From an earlier post I made:
Now, how many times can you say that they have fulfilled this promise:
"a minimum of 3 new NPG songs each month accompanied by corresponding
music videos"?

Well, definitely not when the NPGMC started or even mid-year, but the last
two months have been plentiful. But again, its how you look at it.
