Something is happening on nin.com tonight

[Skradgee]

The store is fuct. That limited edition set looks so great. I'm not even a die-hard NIN fan and I want one.

Whatever happened to streaming samples as a method of music preview? Just my .02

Trent is annoying.

[Floppy Nono]

are there titles for these songs? i downloaded the megaupload to check it out and nothing seems to be named other than separated into ghost's. Is this how it's supposed to be?

[null123]

yes

You should have got it off Amazon. No server problems and quick download.

[deadaswarhol]

[null123]

It does look nice. If sp put one out like that I would totally throw down.

Yeah dude what an asshole. I mean shit I expect my music to be hand delivered to me by the artist in cassette form (I only have a cassette player in my bathroom and that is where I like to screen new music.) Furthermore a nice blumkin by TR while taking in the music doesn't seem like too much of a request and would really enhance the experience.

Go eat a bag of dicks Trent!

there was streaming music on the download popup anyway. why are people so critical of one of the few people doing something right in this arena?

[Rider]

Yay let's all just complain just to hear ourselves speak.

because it's netphoria. if they didn't, there'd be no use for this board.

i ordered the vinyl set thing, but i can't get the flac archive to download. it downloads for a few seconds and then stops and thinks it's completed and all i get is a corrupt archive. but i guess they're saying you'll be able to download it later when the server load lightens. but i'm impatient. so thanks for the mega link.

sounds like your having the same problem as i. the file really isnt finishing download. this is something montelds would not put up with, as it is not tasteful. so i bought the thing too and downloaded it from the megaupload link and all is well.

Anyone who buys the $5 download has full rights to distribute the album for non-commercial purposes. That is to say, putting the whole thing up on a torrent site is totally fucking LEGAL. Trent is awesome.

you can get a lossless version in .m4a on the various torrent sites

trent's instrumentals was one of the big reasons why i liked "the fragile" so much.

this is amazing.

there'll be a reset and then the dl should start. Mine got to 78% then stopped.

[trev]

trent for king of the world

*raises hand*

[Jonny5]

wow, this was a surprise. on the site a few weeks ago he said something like "we've been up to secret things which we will start to tell you about soon". well, this is one helluva good start i guess

[flyfire]

changing the post location from LA to Hong Kong is kinda cute

I wasn't talking about that, dude. I was referring to how he thinks he's so high and mighty above the ways of the music industry when that very industry gave him what he has now. I think that his actions spark more people to believe that by pirating music they're doing musicians a great service, which isn't always true (also, at Netphoria the consensus on downloading differs greatly from what I have seen the majority of people say on different websites).

However, I like what he did this time - some it's free, most of it's paid. That's a cool idea.

Because I don't agree with most of his ideas about the industry!

I know there was streaming music on the popup. I was referring to streaming music on a larger scale. I should have been more specific.

He's giving people options. Clearly he was disappointed with the purchase rate for Saul William's record but in the end Niggy Tardust still pocketed SW more cash than his last album and I'm sure attendance/vending/t-shirts at his shows will be far greater with more people having access to the album.

You gotta respect that TR isn't keeping his head in the sand and thinking he can wish downloading away. It is only going to get worse and those who don't tinker with the model and figure out another way of doing business are going the way of the dodo.

As for his high and mighty views of the music industry more power to him. Sometimes you need to step on a few heads to get where you need to go. Should a studly cock swinging swordsman call his first girlfriend to thank her for allowing him to hone his craft on her everytime he bangs his current squeeze? No sir. They both fucked each other and are now moving on.

well that's overstating it a little bit, wouldn't you say?
