Well today I’ve had a frustrating experience with AOL Music ( http://www.aol.de/musik ) A friend gave me a voucher for some free songs. Sorry, I threw it away. I wanted to buy some songs from Dragonforce today. I sifted through the library and fairly quick found what I was looking for. I previewed the songs. The quality is very poor. Made me guess if the songs you download would be the same. The songs they provide are WMV@128(10x CD Burns allowed per DRM), which implies the IMHO Windows MediaPlayer from HELL. Well anyway since I wouldn’t be paying for these songs because of the voucher I wanted them anyway.

So now if there was only a “Add to Cart” button of some sort. There were none. Nothing. First I thought might be a glitch with my browser. So I sent a friend to the same site. He didn’t see anything either. So I tried a few different browsers. Same story every time. I contacted the support. “Are you using AOL Browser?” WHAT? If they think I’m gonna use that to give them money, they are far off. The damn voucher went in the trash. I’ll just stick to iTunes Music Store as usual, better quality better experience. I was surprised about the quick support reply though.

BTW If you want to use the damn voucher and give it a try: 959113871 is the code.
