Free £5 Music Download From Wippet

acc

I tried downloading the songs in order off the Muse album, and got songs 1, 2, (not sure what happened to 3), 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8, then the downloaded failed on 9 and none of the subsequent songs would download.

I tried playing the songs that have downloaded on Windows Media Player, and the licensing is not effective, so all the songs fail with 'Windows Media Player cannot play, synchronize, or burn a protected file because an error occurred while verifying the license.'

Accessing the wippit Help to try and find out about the failure in downloading and in the licensing, finds that their website has crashed:

Server Application Unavailable

The web application you are attempting to access on this web server is currently unavailable. Please hit the "Refresh" button in your web browser to retry your request.

Administrator Note: An error message detailing the cause of this specific request failure can be found in the application event log of the web server. Please review this log entry to discover what caused this error to occur.

Wippit are a joke, but what a waste of time of the people tempted to try their music 'service'.

Just as well I gave wippit a disposable e-mail address and the mobile number from one of my free O2 sim card.

Hi

Has anyone had any success with this?

I'm not sure if it's me being thick or the website!!!

I did all the codes bit fine bought the Amy (mad hair!) Winehouse album for the £5 credit - all ok......

But now when I go to the my account section it does not give me the option to ACTUALLY download it?? In the "current download" or "download history" bits? althought it does show that I bought it in the "transaction history" bit.

Is it me or is that odd?

Hope someone can help?

Cheers

I've found the same problem.
I don't think Wippit are doing themselves any favours, just showing what a crap service they have!

There is a link in blue text on the top right hand side - single and Albulm/movies - click here and then you should be able to download. I say shoul, beacasue I couldn't and now my purchase has dissapeared! Excellent service!

Hi all

Ref above.

It's still not working for me. It's says "no item found" in the current download area album section where I imagine it should be.

I have sent the help an email....... I will let you know if they reply.

How stupid are these companies offers like this are supposed to encourage customers - not put them off!!!! :mad:

See what happens.
cheers

Hi there it lets me get as far as downloading and to what file i choose to put it in,then it stops and says internet connection was reset. Any ideas please.

I have a feeling you have to subscribe before it will let you download. I hope not though.

Well I finally managed to download my album. :j

Thanks to newmoneysaver for pointing out about the Album/Movies link, and I also had a reply from an email I sent to Wippit stating the same.

It wasn't all plain sailing though as I kept getting server errors and god knows what, but eventually managed to download one track at a time.

I have a program called Tunebite (cost me £10 last year but worth every penny, IMHO) which I used to convert the Windows Media files to MP3 and also get rid of the copy protection :cool:).

By the way, I downloaded Back to Black by Amy Winehouse but haven't listened to it yet because I was too knackered
