Yeah, that's a sweet deal indeed.
The only thing that bugs me is that you can't count on their customer
service. I've sent them about a dozen email messages about a defective CD
that had been shipped to me through their CDuctive buyout... None of which
were ever answered. Not even an acknowledgment or redirection. Crap.
Of course, the deal being with downloadable MP3s and all, you might not need
their CS people at all, but let's say you're incorrectly billed...?
It's just not worth it to me.
sqrrt.
