|

I have an account with Emusic; a safe and legal website where you download songs legally. You purchase an account for a month(s)
Anyway. I tried to download an album and it didn't work; I only got 3/18 of the songs; and I tried evrything; restarting the computer; using a different search engine; and so on.
So they gave me the money back to 're download' the album. So I did it; because I REALLY wanted this album.
It didn't work; it still gave me the same 3 songs; so while I think the problem is with the album...they want to have an Emusic agent take control of my computer to find out what the problem is and try to fix it.
I'm always uneasy about this. Even when Dell did it I felt uncomfortable.
I've just never heard of a website needing to do this.
I am just really uncomfortable. |

Yeah, I don't think you should do it either. I wouldn't trust them to be honest. It's one thing to let Dell or some other major company do that, but something like this, I wouldn't trust it. _________________ *~Summer~*

I think I might tell them that; that I don't feel comfortable doing that because its' not my computer (It's my mom's). And just hope they refund my account.
I should have just taken the money and ran instead of trying to redownload the album but I wanted those songs. |
