Free £6.50 album download & month's free music streaming

NavalAviator

This deal sounded too good to be true, and on the basis that nothing ever comes for free I was a little suspicious...

Anyway, gave it a go and found that even though I'm down in Cornwall, using my broadband connection through a BT landline, every time I try to register with Sky Songs, I get the message:
"Sorry, Sky Songs can only be used in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Channel Islands and the Isle of Man."

Seems they've voted for Cornish Independence!!!

I just tried registering and I got the same message, I'm in Bedfordshire, maybe the site has crashed

Just tried it again now and seems to be working fine now, code still works too :T

Just noticed that the single tracks are all different prices - can you still download 10, or is it only 10 @ 65p, or is it any up to the value of £6.50??

Can't believe there are still codes left - just got Leaders of the Free World - Elbow. Fab!

Ok, managed to create an account and also used the promotion code to get one month free, so seems to be working again...

However, you can't actually download or stream any music without first installing the Sky Songs MP3 Downloader. No problem methinks, but there is nothing on the page stating what system requirements you need.

Unfortunately the only version offered for Mac users requires Mac OS X 10.5 and as my machine will only run up to OS X 10.4.11 I'm stuck!

Also, all of the FAQ pages given at the bottom of every page take you to a page that states "We're sorry but the page you're looking for could not be found." This includes the page marked "Getting started with Sky Songs", so as yet, I haven't managed to "get started with Sky Songs" and am on the point of giving up!

Anyone else experienced this and found a workaround?

p.s. Streaming seems to work OK without the Downloader, but guess that makes sense!

I've just checked my bank account and I've been charged £6.49 for the album. I used the sun codes - does anyone know who I should contact? Thanks
