This seems to be a legal download site, but should it be available now?

Seems to be pretty common for downloads to be available (sometimes weeks) before the physical media is available.

It doesn't seem to be dodgy, and after a long look through the legal guff at the bottom of the pages, if it is, someone's gone to a hell of a lot of trouble to make it look legit.

Tunetribe is perfectly legit, yes. I guess it's had the web release as the album's out in Japan.

Not sure what format they give it to you in - went to look at the site's troubleshooting section but the whole site seems to be down at the minute. What format is the file(s) they sent you?

It's an 80meg zip file containing MP3s.

In that case, it should be possible for them to resupply you the download at no cost. The fact that the site wasn't working just now suggests perhaps it died partway through download of the archive file?

I'm currently halfway through my third attempt (just sign back into your account and go to order history, then click on yoni), and I haven't had a file of the correct size come through yet, although this bit of the system still seems to be working even if the rest of the site is down.

Oh well....I take comfort in knowing that I'm not alone. I sent an email advising of my problems. Maybe the site's overloading with the demomand for Yoni :-) Still, it's bloody frustrating to be so near yet so far.

Keith, If you haven't got it yet, persevere (easy to say, I know :) ). It took four attempts to get it right - the file is 84.4meg in total.

This is FARGIN GOOD....well worth the wait. I wont give any spoilers. At least a good few songs that I'm sure will be considered "classic" in times to come.
