- Q: The music I downloaded seems to be of poor quality (there are clicks/pops/, etc.) What should I do?
-
A: Because we are unable to personally check every track in our database, our users may, though rarely, end up with poor quality tracks (according to our statistics, this occurs in less than 0.03% of the time). However, if this happened to you, please contact our technical support staff under the subject heading entitled "Errors/Bugs in the music catalogue" After we check the issue and validate your complaint, we will return the appropriate balance to your account. We will also try to do everything within our power to replace the low-quality track so you can download it again.
You must also take into account that some classic audio has been recorded from vinyl and may have characteristics distinctive to the medium that cannot be prevented. In such cases, please note that the original source cannot be improved.
