Here in NL I am not able to get past the screen name and password form.

Very strange but the systems says I need to double check my input but there is no way I can log in on the system.

Does anybody know how i get this fixed?

For some reason your old screen name and password will not be accepted.... you will have to create a new screen name and password.

I tried to download MP3 but got a winzip file? Nothing there. How do I need to download this?

[swanny]

All worked fine here with IE7 earlier.

MPLsound wav download file is corrupt though. :(

You need to save the downloaded winzip file on your desktop and extract (unzip) the zip file with winzip software (google winzip for free software)...

Hope this helps...

here's something i prepared earlier, but it seems to be a day of IT problems...



a few things that may help...


to join the site, got to www.lotusflow3r.com and wait for the site to load, then there is a purple ticket on the floor to the right of the middle, click that and enter 86 in the first box and Los Angelese in the second box, then wait for the join details to come up, submit a username and password, noting that the site doesn't keep old user details from npgmc etc, then you put in name and address etc, then credit card details. as the site is so flash heavy and the site may be busy at the moment, it can take a good few seconds to refresh. once you've subscribed you can view the site. you should make sure your browser is up to date and has the latest flash etc installed. the site specs state that you should have at least 1 gigabyte of ram, which most pc's of a year or two old should have, but older pc's might not have that much. it doesn't cost much to upgrade ram these days. the site will probably work with less ram, but will just be slower, and videos may be choppy

what i've found is that using firefox i could signup and navigate the site, and i could navigate with IE8, on an XP machine, but neither would let me download the mp3s or wav files properly. it seems this is a common problem with users, presumably with xp or vista. i think the problem relates to popupblockers or something, but disabling these didn't help. i then found that if you use the google chrome browser you can navigate and download the files on xp or vista. it didn't take long to install google chrome and i didn't have to reboot to get it to work. i didn't get round to downloading as the site was so flash heavy, having the site loaded in both firefox and google chrome at the same time as other sites almost crippled my machine

on a mac, using OSX, apparently there are similar problems with firefox, in that you can join and navigate but not download. ironically i heard there is an issue with safari that stops you from joining up! thus on a mac osx you can join up with firefox, and then you can log in and navigate and download using safari. after joining up on a pc using firefox, i booted my laptop into osx, loaded safari, logged in and it downloaded fine. each album is a zip file of about 100mb for mp3s, it must be about 500-600mb for the wav files as they are uncompressed lossless files, the exact same quality as a normal cd.

the downloads went reasonably quickly at about 7am this morning, as presumably most americans were in bed and UK folk had better things to do than go on the internet at that time. when the site went live at 2am it was a bit of a farce as no-one knew what to do, it was like the kyrypton factory trying to figure out how to sign up, and as the site was so slow and flash heavy you couldn't tell if it was working or not. it seems the videos are plahing back choppy, although i hear they aren't so bad if they are full frame instead of windowed (you have an option like youtube). i think the problem is as the site is so flash heavy it uses so much ram, so you should try stopping any other programs or downloads on your pc so you just have lotusflow3r and nothing else running. clearing cache on browsers may also help. ensuring your pc is up to date with anti virus and anti spyware software and free from malware is also helpful

for playback of files on a pc, i recommend www.winamp.com as that can be configured to play any audio file type, it even plays back videos, but i recommend media player classic or vlc media player for playback of video files. mpc and vlc can also play audio files, but the user interface of winamp is best suited for music and mpc and vlc best suited for video. you can google and download plugins for flac, shn, ape and other formates, and the CCCP combined community codec pack is the best all in one download for plugins for all types of video files such as divx, xvid, mkv, etc. vlc has it's own built in codecs for certain files and can also play flv flash video files, like youtube etc uses. you can also get vlc player for mac, and a version of media player classic for mac. itunes seems to be the best option for playback of music on the mac, but it doesn't play flac and other file formats, so vlc is one of the few decent options

firefox is the top choice of browser for both mac and pc, and adblock plus plug in is the best for doing what i'm sure you can guess does. firefox allows tabbed browsing, which IE7 and IE8 also support, but most people find firefox quicker, and better to use due to the add ons. google chrome is still relatively new and not as widely supported, and IE8 only came out of beta the other week. i found safari was crap on both pc and mac. windows defender from microsoft is a good free spyware program that also let's you disable startup programs from running. if you know what you are doing you can also run services.msc, but if you don't know what that does i wouldn't recommend even running it. play.com is one of the cheapest places to get extra ram right now, and if you install a tiny free program called cpu-z you can find out what type of ram you have and if you have any spare free sockets to install more ram. a quick google should find any of the programs etc mentioned for free and legal download

nero is probably still the best option for burning audio files on the pc, as you can get plugins to burn mp3, flac and other formats direct to cd audio without converting first. depending on the version of nero you have, you may have to do a bit of googling and mucking about to do that, but once you've sussed it out, it works great. nero also burns dvds and data. toast is the best option for mac users

EAC exact audio copy is the best program for ripping cds on the pc, although some prefer itunes, and that's probably the best option for mac users, but won't let you rip to flac

if anyone knows any better mac options, please post here. there just doesn't seem to be a decent mac equivilent to winamp, or media player classic. the mac seems the poor option when it comes to playing back media files, so if you have an intel mac i'd suggest installing xp with bootcamp (not parallels or vmware for playing media files, especially not video)

Done but now it shows as Lotusflower winzip file. I'm confused?

it sounds like you've downloaded the file, and you just need to unzip it. you may want to google or look at wikipedia to find out what zip or rar files are and how to deal with them. this is pretty basic computing stuff, so worth a quick and simple read

[freedom]

Try right clicking on the zip file and click on extract (or unzip) files... your mp3 files should end up in a lotusflower folder.

[joyinrepatition]

It just needs extracting...
have you tried my explanation
It's quite easy...even i can do it..:)

[Savage]

Done Lotusflow3r but struggling with MPLSound. Will keep trying!

[joyinrepatition]

:punk:your on it man....:group:were all routing for you :)

[Savage]

MPLSound seems corrupt. Tried twice now without success.

[joyinrepatition]

You probably need to download it again...pick a quiet time as their server is probably approaching melt down right now...best of luck :bye:

[Savage]

Did Elixir fine. Another go at MPLSound!

[Savage]

Nope

! C:\Documents and Settings\Paul\My Documents\My Music\My Music\Mplsound_Mplsound.zip: The archive is either in unknown format or damaged


Bugger!

[unique]

the mp3 vesions work fine, but i had trouble with the wav files, i think mplsound's wav zip is corrupt. if you don't download the file properly it wont unzip properly, but if you use winrar you can choose the option of unzipping and ignoring errors and you can sometimes get the uncorrupted files speaking generally about mutli file zips)

[LadyDye]

i just signed up late last night. I haven't tried to download anything and i didn't really look around too much, but I am excited that he is coming at this new promotion so hard.

i think the "three Universe" sort of layout is kind of cool. I'm going to buy the hard copies on Sunday. I'm very excited!

[Funk]

Well I finally gave in and joined :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Have downloaded all 3 albums in mp3 format, and they seem corrupt. They play, but there are very small, but noticable jumps/pauses for want of a better description, a bit like you get on a scratched cd...:rolleyes::mad:

I may go and download them in wav format? I was playing them in windows media player

if the mp3s were corrupt you would get an error unzipping them. maybe you have a slow pc that's struggling with the higher bitrate

www.winamp.com try playing back with that as it's less of a resource hog than WMP

Cheers Unique, I downloaded winamp, and they seem to all be working fine.

the site doesn't retain username details from anywhere like npgmc, so you have to join up from scratch with a new username and password. you click the purple ticket, enter 1986 and los angelese and then you can register your details. have a read back on the posts on this thread as there is a big one with more details

[Lucy]

Thanks for your advice guys, i managed to join up and all is good. 3 albums to enjoy all at once, i feel spoiled..........

I'm not a www.lotusflow3r.com (http://www.lotusflow3r.com) member yet, could you please let me know which kind of mp3 format are the album tracks? 128 kbps, 256 kbps of 360 kbps?
Thanks in advance

[joyinrepatition]
