Big Al Posted March 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 Tony Bennett - Perfectly Frank One of my favorite albums. Highly recommended! Probably his best album of the nineties right there. Highly recommended indeed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Wheel Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 Big Wheel started (and quickly deleted) a poll which considered the likely answer. I imagine people who ordered a ton of stuff from yourmusic got to keep the lower rates, while those (like me) who didn't go much beyond 1 cd a month got bumped up. Guy Re that poll, I deleted it mainly because I needed to edit some of the poll choices. You can't edit poll options once the poll is created, though, so I deleted it and just never got around to redoing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Larsen Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 I think that Yourmusic is pretty clearly doing a marketing study and selected a random sample of customers to stay in the $5.99 club. I'd put money on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron S Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 I think that Yourmusic is pretty clearly doing a marketing study and selected a random sample of customers to stay in the $5.99 club. I'd put money on it. I actually sent them an email asking why some people are still getting the lower price while others aren't, and received the following reply: [T]here are a some customers whose monthly fee and CD prices at yourmusic.com did not increase on their specific accounts with January 1, 2007 price increase because of the date they enrolled with yourmusic.com. I'm not sure if that's true, but that was the response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Nessa Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 I enrolled during the $4.99 era and received the $6.99 increase email - but it never happened. I have received about 10 discs since the email but all were at the $5.99 price. Received Shepp's Kwanza today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Skid Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 Anybody familiar with Stefon Harris' African Tarantella? I'm hoping that at least some of the extra $$ YM has made with the price increases will go to speeding up their website. Ridiculously slow at times.

GA Russell Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 Skid, I heard one song from African Tarantella on the radio last week, and I liked what I heard. I've been thinking about adding it to my queue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kh1958 Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 Thanks, GA. I haven't heard much of his work, but I've been curious for a long time. That new Stefan Harris is a good record.

Big Wheel Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 Here's a somewhat amusing yourmusic story. I kept my word and canceled my subscription back in January. A week or two ago I get one of those "customer retention" emails asking me to come back. So just for the hell of it, I replied to the email saying that I wasn't willing to pay $6.99, but if they could offer me the $5.99 price again I just might consider rejoining. About a week afterward I get an reply saying: "Thank you for contacting yourmusic.com. Your subscription has been canceled as requested."

bolivarblues Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 This month's queue item, the Frisell/Carter/Motian record, is on backorder. I've never had a queue item backordered, and the help page for backorders is not entirely clear on the procedure for queues on backorder. Will they automatically ship my next queue item, or will they try to get the CD before giving up and shipping the next item? I would hope that they would make every effort to get this first, since I'd really like to have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quincy Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 This month's queue item, the Frisell/Carter/Motian record, is on backorder. I've never had a queue item backordered, and the help page for backorders is not entirely clear on the procedure for queues on backorder. Will they automatically ship my next queue item, or will they try to get the CD before giving up and shipping the next item? They will send the next queue item. I've had a backordered title take 3 months, so each time they sent the "runner-up." So make sure your #2 is good enough to be your #1, and update accordingly.
