Current Status of DMusic...

RichLum	Date: March 15, 2008 @ 10:56 AM So what is the current state of things? I just had another quarterly subscription deducted from my paypal account... Streaming is still not working... It worked for a few days around the beginning of Feb, but that was it... Downloads seem to be working, but a lot of people don't bother downloading... they stream and if it doesn't grab them they stop before wasting their bandwidth on the whole song... The other outage thread seems to have migrated into one about how long the thread is and posts getting deleted but hasn't had any site status updates for ages...

Distilled1	Date: March 15, 2008 @ 11:24 AM Rich Streaming is working fine what are you using to stream? what songs are not streaming?

leedsquietman	Date: March 15, 2008 @ 3:22 PM Streaming has been fine for me for a while. Errors like leave a comment some longwinded error message appears telling you it didn't work and then you find you have double or triple commented. Firefox is not working for me for uploads (it mentions mac doesn't work but it doesn't work from my pc either lately). Still no stats and reordering files is broken but these are minor gripes. The subscription working is probably more a case of it's on an automatic schedule with paypal or your credit card co. rather than orders from the top to debit. Although I feel your pain. I cancelled my recurring sub with paypal last month, the next payment is due in April and I still am undecided, even with the current improvements, whether or not I'm ready to renew. I will take another 2 weeks or so and see how things are then.
RichLum	Date: March 15, 2008 @ 5:56 PM I just checked with Winamp and it streams OK. I usually use Foobar and am getting the following error: Unable to open item for playback (Requested Range Not Satisfiable (416)): "http://files.dmusic.com/0.21b372975f8b1834dc919b501313150d/music/r/i/richlum/Anyway_In_The_End.mp3" It was working fine in Foobar a few weeks ago...
ChillinBuzz	Date: March 16, 2008 @ 8:46 AM Works in Winamp but not in Foobar? Uninstall and reinstall Foobar, just to eliminate it. I usually find when things go belly up here, Winamp is the first thing to stop working properly with streams...

I've never been into those settings, so not sure whether it was checked before or whether with the changes to DMusic you now need this unchecked, but something to add to the FAQ maybe Rich
