I’m glad to have a computer to use again. I’ve been catching up on some things I hadn’t done in awhile and now have found myself the only one up, everyone else gone to bed without totally telling me. It’s been awhile since I’ve had the computer like this, and now I’m stuck down in Frank’s “office” since it’s the only logistical place in which I can access an ethernet connection right now.<\/p>\n
The biggest downer to this whole experience is that I have three “songs” I downloaded previously from MusicMatch in Window’s Media Player. One on my Vaio laptop and two on this desktop.<\/p>\n
In order to listen to the songs on any computer you have to have that PC “activated” to work with Music Match’s licensing.<\/p>\n
:rolleyes:<\/p>\n
It’s nothing but trouble for me now. I can’t get a license for my three songs since I have messed up licensing with the upgrade of the mobo and processor, I can not deactivate my old Vaio, since I can’t get onto the computer anymore. Music Match lets you have 5 PC activated with their service. So I have two unavailable Activations which I can’t deactivate nor activate.<\/p>\n
I sent the tech support an email through their form system, I surely hope they solve my problem, but I am not holding out hope.<\/p>\n
I want my access to my songs back, it’s only three though, and I can get them again if I must. I don’t know though if Music Match is going to work with my new computer setup, though it’s still the same stuff, just new hardware. Even Microsoft dufeses insisted on “reactivating” my desktop computer once I logged on successfully after the upgraded hardware worked. At least it worked, whereas Music Match says “just click on one of your songs that you got from us and the license aquisition will automatically start” or “you’ll be able to activate your PC as soon as you play one of the songs you got from us” Nope. Error! Can’t … Urg.<\/p>\n
I’m glad I only got three songs, and that I have no plans to download whole albums and never bunches of songs. Licensing is for the birds. Buy the CD’s. It’s less of a hassle. Even just for one song. I wasn’t liking the agreement in the first place, but figured “for this one song and the occasional odd song, OK, it’ll workout”. But now I see what happens when you have computers crash and never revive, and when computers crash and need new parts and come back to life but “not as they were before” and this nightmarish stuff begins. Augh!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
