Wolfgang' Vault - changes?

[bertrand]

Did anyone else get an e-mail about changes coming on 11/6? I didn't really understand what it is telling me.

On the one hand, I will get a credit for the amount of the membership. which is nice. On the other hand, it is not clear if they will still be selling downloads or just merchandise. They keep switching between 'Vault Store' and 'Concert Vault'. I have no interest in the merchandise, just the downloads.

I agree - it was not very clear. It seemed to me that it was about the merch, not the downloads...........and maybe getting rid of the "Concert Vault" name, too.

I don't think I got that e-mail.

Starting Nov 6th, Your Membership Will Pay For Itself!

Dear Concert Vault Member,

On Thursday, November 6th, we will be replacing the Concert Vault Store with full access to Wolfgang's Vault, hailed as the greatest online collection of music merchandise and memorabilia in the world.

On that date we will begin awarding a store credit equal in value to the cost of your membership every time it renews. Now your membership pays for itself!

Your store credit remains available as long as your Concert Vault membership is active. It can be applied toward the purchase of any item in the Wolfgang's Vault store, where you will find everything that was available in the Concert Vault store plus tens of thousands of additional items. You will use the same email address to make purchases at Wolfgang's Vault as you have in Concert Vault and its store, and your store credits will be applied to your purchases automatically.

When we make this change you will no longer receive a 10% discount on merchandise purchases - but until then please continue to enjoy your 10% discount on all merchandise in the CV Store.

Thank you so much for your continued membership and support.

Cheers,

Concert Vault


(Store credit will equal cost of membership and can be used on any single or combination of items in the Wolfgang’s Vault store. Additional store credit will be added at every membership renewal. Store credit can only be redeemed with an active membership. Store credit cannot be applied to membership or download purchases. Concert Vault reserves the right to change the terms and conditions of its membership benefits including the value and frequency of store credit.)

Seems like they've been changing it every year. I agree it's completely unclear.

I think it means you still pay for your membership but get a credit for that amount to wards whatever you purchase. But I'm not sure it can be used against downloads or only merchandise.

Are all the downloads MP3s? Do they offer FLAC or WAV format?
