Just got a response from NPGMC about the October edition and here's what it
said:

At 04:18 PM 10/17/01 -0400, you wrote:

Hello,

Just wondering if and when we'll see regular trax and an Ahdio Show this
edition.

Thanks,

With the Rainbow Children being 14 new songs, this month's edition is
fulfilled.


PEACE,

So, no more music for this month. I thought that it was our (premium
members) bonus trax for the month. Oh well, why would I expect anything
more.

Prince cant keep delivering mp3s of his own and keep people happy everytime
some people wont feel it one month other people will.

How many people have enjoyed the 2 discs of songs he put out this year?

Any song you didnt like?


Its hard to please people on this level.

Rainbow Children after listening to it 2 times I find itto be a refreshing edgy
innovative ensemble concept record.

I just wonder if this will outsell Rave because its something different and
maybe people will embrace that more.

I think in "time" it will outsell Rave..it will be like a sleeper over the
years..a constant slow seller for peopel who want to hear a trippy-jazzy side
of Prince. A darker shade of pale if you will .

I guess that will mean they won't have any new tracks for the next few
months, since TRC contains 14 new songs and they're only supposed to put 3
new songs on every month? Next update for the NPGMC....Feb 2002, but you'll
need to renew you subscription first if you're one of the many premium
members who joined in Feb 2001. ;-)

I think it might sell surprisingly well when it's released on CD.

Too right. They are still obligated, whether or not he has released extra
tracks in a certain month. I wonder if they'll even TRY and say "well, 14
new songs is at least 3 editions".

correction, BULLSHIT if they've fulfilled this months obligations.

what did we get? ONE CONTINIOUS TRACK OF 14 SUPPOSED SONGS OF MATERIAL THAT WILL
BE OFFICIALLY RELEASED IN 29 DAYS this is 69:58, with ALMOST 2 minutes of that
SILENCE and FILLER at the END!

what are we SUPPOSE to get?


Lo-quality:128 kbps
Hi-Quality:256kbps

Basic Members:
3 Downloadable monthly tracks
1 Hour long Ahdio Show

Premium Members:
At least 3 Downloadable monthly tracks
Plus at least 1 Bonus track
1 Hour long Ahdio Show

What we normally get, is normally bare minimum, with more than often poorly
encoded videos added replacing audio tracks we should be getting, a LESS THAN AN
HOUR AHDIO Show, usually around 45-50 minutes, and at less than agreed upon
formats as in club rules and statements of club contents. They have ranged from
96kbps(the current "Lo-Quality" format for Ahdio Show, when it should be
128kbps), to one point no Lo/Hi-Quality difference when we were given 160kbps
and the now "Hi-Quality" format for the Ahdio Show of 192kbps, when it should be
256kbps as the rest of the monthly *.mp3's

We don't get our monthly "EXTRAZ" which was a replacement for the failed "Remix
Experience" which started 2 months late, and only lasted one month.
We've been promised "Screen-Savers, Backgrounds and other items" yet we've seen
3 additions to the "Extraz" section, and only 2 should count.
1.) Photos from Hit N Run show (should not have been counted as they were
partially available on the old npgonlineltd site)
2.) Red NPGMC Bitmap
3.) Faux Green NPGMC "Matrix" Bitmap

That totals including the 1 edition of the "Remix Experience" 4 items. OUT OF 9
MONTHS, so that is 5 months of unfulfilled obligations.
Our 9th month we finally get items added to the "Premium Retail" section.

As for this months edition, they claim nothing else since we "got 14 new
tracks", again it was one contious track they claimed meant to be heard as one
or together, however they worded it. Again I say, with this being soon to be
released official material, it should be counted as our monthly "AHDIO SHOW" not
our monthly fulfillment, because it is coming up way short on monthly
obligations. Not to mention, it needs to be re-encoded to a higher format than
the supplied 96 and 128kbps formats we received.

Btw, where are the PREMIUM MEMBERS "BONUS" tracks, as the MONTHLY MEMBERS are
obviously getting the same thing we have, just a couple weeks later, but
considering it has been available on mulitple file sharing programs better than
it was via download for most through the club, plenty of people have already
gotten it.


I say Premium Members are still owed at least 4 MORE TRACKS TO FULFILL our club
agreement, and Monthly Members should get the PREVIEW RELEASE as their Ahdio
Show plus 3 MORE TRACKS TO FULFILL their monthly agreement.

Hey, at least we got it a month before it was gonna be released :) So
members are enjoying the new album before the world does. We also got 14
songs, instead of 3-5 which is what is promised to us. No videos, but we got
9 extra songs/segues more then makes up for it I guess(I hate the videos
anyways) As for the ahdio show? Who gives a shit, its nice to hear Prince
joke around a bit and hear already bought songs, but if I want that this
month I'll put on a Chris Rock performance and relisten to all my Prince
albums. I'm happy with this month's edition. Yeah, the mp3s are not as high
quality as they should be, but I'll be buying the album anyways when it
comes out and the mp3s sound pretty damn good on my stereo right now. It
would have been cool if we got an EXCLUSIVELY released through the NPGMC
album, but lets face it Bart, ppl will bitch to have the album on CD and
that they want to buy it in the stores(which I like doing myself), so how
cares? We got it a month before its release date and logically you don't
have to buy the album if you don't want since you already have it.

Yes, I'm play Devil's Advocate. :)

But you're right Bart, we should get more, but thats all Prince gives us,
the bare minimum if that at all.
