Free Album download on Tunechecker?

The_Grandmaster

I think BLACKPATCH is stating that tunetribe managed to get free advertising through the weekly e-mail (although the website crashing may have backfired on the plans). I assume that the offer was placed on the e-mail (text copied below) as moneysavingexpert.com to some degree were promised that tunetribe would be offering worthwhile albums and were given certain names of artists included. Thus if tunetribe have not upheld their original arrangements, this could be seen as a breach of contract as it is akin to not paying advertisement fees where that is replaced by 10,000 albums offered to us... That raises the other idea that this website is not technically independent/ advertising...

Note: Although they originally had the artisits listed (before the site crashed), at the present moment (with increased total number of albums offered), there is only 1 top 40 album and none of these specifically named artists.

Original e-mail:
Totally free album downloads inc. Leona, JLS, MGMT etc. (from Wed 1pm)
Tunechecker.com's blagged a Tunetribe code for free albums. 10,000 avail, first come first served
Inc. many current top 40 albums & artists like Pink, Wham, Kings of Leon; full info TuneChecker.com: Free MP3s

I wonder what the weekly email will have to say about this whole sorry mess? If anything!

I received my code but it doesnt accept it at the checkout! Album choice is rubbish now & after all this palava I will never use Tunetribe again, if they cant even get a promo running how the heck are they going to cope withthe day to day running of the site?!! What a load of tosh!!

Send an e-mail complaint from the website although not sure how good customer service is... Well I think I do with the amount of waiting we all went through...

And this is a lesson in how NOT to encourage customers to use your service. I have just spent 20 minutes trying to find a decent album to download from the pile of bargain bucket junk that even poundland would not consider worthy of shelf space. Finally picked an album for the sake of (Calvin Harris, probably the only good album on there) and now I get "voucher not valid! message. I'm absolutely furious, I will never ever use them again, even if they were 1/2 price of other mp3 sites.

Absolutely ridiculous! :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

I may have been lucky enough to get an email with a code but to be honest you have missed out on nothing. I was sat there when the offer went live and spent 4 hours on and off trying to get the MJ album but like everyone it was just not going to happen.

On getting the email i thought great but once i went to the special part of the site all you find i think are rubbish albums and at the top it says some had been removed because the offer was already used including the MJ one i wanted. I think it was a con and the MSE team should explain what happened with this and how they managed to con MSE. I dont know why albums were removed if what was posted by MSE was true and that only 1500 of the 10000 albums were downloaded till they changed the site to sending you an invite if you were lucky.

i wont be making this mistake again and i hope it backfires on tune tribe.

Hmm, I do see why people are so angry - it hasn't been particularly well managed has it !

I haven't had any email, saying I have or haven't got a code, neither did my sis.

Site crashed Friday (I think) and I emailed first thing Sat, so quite surprised I didn't hear anything back.

Nevermind, you win some, you lose some..

OMG what waste of time!!!!!
Blur? Supergrass? The Verve????
Just got my code and I cant find a thing I want.
I love that apparently they have changed the albums because they have extended the offer. Oh how kind of them!!!
SNAAAAARRRRRL!!!
