U.K Release? #

By Johnny Kelly Posted Tuesday 16th October 2007 22:27 GMT

I've been reading this news of the 4.0 update being available "from today" or "available now" for a couple of hours. So far however, the U.K Napster download site is still serving up ver 3.8.1.4.

This may no longer be the case tomorrow morning I suppose, but to be told over and over again in press release and news story that I can get something now and yet not be able to makes me feel like the U.K is getting a little looked over by the people.

Hopefully it's all just a time zone thing and the announcement will spread over to the U.K tomorrow. Here's hoping :-)

MP3s to become the standard? #

Shame. They're not great. What about FLAC and OGG?

Not in Canda #

We get nothing here, primitive protected backwater that sometimes is.

Every napster site redirects back to the Windows Only napster.ca.

A trip with Firefox on TOR show me the joy unavailable to we of the land of the yellow snow.

Update: Not in UK either #

The UK download site still hasn't been updated to version 4.0. I used a proxy server to obtain a copy of the 4.0 software from the U.S site.

The software refused to accept my login information, which I knew was quite likely, but I just wanted to check.

So now I've rolled back to 3.8.1.4 and shall sit quietly and wait for America to realise other countries exist.
