My first impression of the Ubuntu one music store.

[Curtiss]

I've been getting my music at amazon and there was an album I wanted real bad. But I'm using Lucid Lynx 10.04 RC 64 bit and amazon does not have a down loader thing for 64 bit only works with 32 bit. So I decided to give the music store a try. The music store had what I wanted and for 2.22 US dollars cheaper than amazon and at the same bit rate 256 gotta love that LOL.

So I already had a Ubuntu one account the free 2 gigs. Making the purchase was pretty painless but when the download process started it was rather slow and out of 18 tracks 4 of them did not download the music store was showing the tracks in Que. So I let it run overnight and next morning same thing. I then rebooted my PC and back to the music store and was able to down load the tracks and all was good.

I think the music store is coming together nicely and will most likely use it again just hope things get better in time. I also like how the music is backed up to the Ubuntu one.

Now that has to be a good thing :)

Hi Curtiss,

Thank you for the feedback and support! We're working overtime to get the last of the incomplete downloads problems resolved. We're rolling out an update on the servers (right about now actually) that we think will take care of these.

Thanks,

Joshua
