What's the most you paid for a music download - how about £80.00!

:eek::eek::eek::eek:
Yikes.....

I just purchased a single track of music that should have been 79p, but the artist allows you to increase this if you wish, so I rounded it up to 80p, or so I thought..... just got the PayPal bill....... £80.00!

Surely that is a massive mistake or a massive rip-off.

I think I'm about to have a cardiac arrest :(

[Reid Malenfant]

Oh crap :(

I thought i was reading things as i'd be scared crapless incase an £80 download crapped out or my PC crashed whilst in process :eek:

But this is just sooooo much worse :doh:

On the bright side, though - oh, hang on, I'm not sure there is a bright side... :(
Unlucky matey - looks like the music budget is blown well and truly...

[John]

I am sure if you speak to paypal or the artist thet might understand

I have sent emails to both John, fingers crossed - and yeah Alex, that's my £100.00 a month budget gone in nearly one go! :(

I feel your pain Tim. I hope you can get this resolved amicably. If you can't get a refund, see if they'll come and do a gig in your front room - you've certainly paid for it.

Well I had a really nice email from the artist last night, telling me not to panic and asking for my bank details.
I just got another one from her this morning saying the money has been credited back and sure enough it's there in my account already :)

:cool: to Emily Barker.

Interestingly, the Shadow Line 'Pause' theme uses the pipe organ from The Royal Festival Hall.

I just bought 'Despite the Snow' from her website, great idea too - you get an immediate FLAC download (or whatever other format you want), plus a CD in the post :)


Followed by ‘Despite The Snow’ (2008) - recorded in just 4 days over a snowy Easter weekend in Norfolk. Critically acclaimed in the UK and Australian music press, its opening track ‘Nostalgia’ became the Bafta-winning theme tune to BBC One drama Wallander starring British actor Kenneth Branagh. The music went on to win a BAFTA and a Royal Television Award.
