Amazon MP3 Store Screw-up

So I bought three MP3 albums from amazon.com yesterday, downloaded them, listened while nodding, etc.  Today I check my email, and it says that payment for one of the albums did not go through, and that the order has been canceled, but my bank has only had the total of one of the albums withdrawn, and not the other two.  My amazon.com order history only has record of one album being ordered, and that was the one that was canceled.

So now I have three mp3 albums, one of which amazon says I haven't paid for (when I have, according to my bank), and two that amazon says I never ordered, but I now have in possession.

Does anyone know how this might have happened?

Never mind, I figured it out:

I ordered two of the albums together, and I forgot about sales tax, and didn't have enough in the account, so amazon canceled both album orders together, but withdrew the amount for the one album that was ordered separately.

But I'm still confused about how I got to download them all anyway . . . 

Glad we were here to help

amazon think you are the person that deserves music more than anyone else

I guess I owe them a thank-you card or cupcakes or something.

YOU GOT A XTRA SOCK DAWG

But here's the kicker:  One of the albums downloaded with this click/crunch noise at the beginning of every track, so I'm downloading it again.

What album? Maybe it was made that way

I doubt it: Vignetting the Compost.

so you got two albums you didn't pay for?

Yeah.  I think because a) it was Sunday, and my bank isn't open Sunday and b) I ordered all the albums in rapid succession, I was able to download them before the order was canceled.

But if people can do this on a regular basis, what's the difference between peer-to-peer and amazon?

because on amazon you pay, what happened to you was a mess-up.

Mess-ups shouldn't happen like this, though, especially if people are (or aren't) paying.

I take it you work for Salvation Army, then?

:wink2:

Well, actually purchasing and re-downloading Vignetting the Compost didn't change anything; both copies of the album have a click/crunch right at the beginning of every track . . . 

Well what did i say

Do you confirm or deny that Vignetting the Compost was made with an obnoxious click/crunch at the beginning of every track?

i got a free track from them once when something on my credit card info was wrong, but the song was already mine so fuck em!
