Virgin Digital Downloads for stealing money from me. mycokemusic.com for it’s stupid database.
I paid for £40 of credit at virgin digital downloads. I’d used about a 3rd of that, an didn’t go there for a while. Now the site doesn’t exist and they have a new system (with it’s own software). On this new system I have no account whatsoever so my account on the old system is useless, and the remaining credit gone (I will e-mail them though)
So I try to create an account on the new system, turns out (may be a bug or policy I don’t know) that only US customers can create accounts. Virgin is a british company for fuck’s sake!
So (again) I remember that mycokemusic.com uses the same system that virgin used to use. I wonder if I already have an account so I enter my (often used) username and click “e-mail password”. I get the following…
“The username you entered has not been found in our database. Please check your spelling and try again”
Fine. So I don’t have an account. Ok, I’ll create one. I fill in the details, and use the same username. Click submit, and get the following…
“A shopper with that username is already registered with Coke Downloads. Please specify a different username”
Huh?! Didn’t it just tell me that username wasn’t in the database??
(I try both, again, just to make sure I didn’t misspell the username. Same result)
Anyone got any suggestions for a good online music download service with a good search engine (the one for the above services is crap) that is available to the UK?
(p.s. the apple sevice is available to the UK, but not the Isle of Man, so can’t use that)
