Why don't you have all the latest releases?

We try to get you the latest music as soon as we can, but our contracts with labels and artists sometimes indicate that new releases show up in stores first. Other times we simply may not have released it yet. Your patience could be well-rewarded in lower prices.

Why can't I hear the previews?

It sounds silly but check to see that your volume is turned up, your system is not on mute, and that your speakers are plugged in and turned on. If you can hear any audio or music from any other programs or a CD then the system is working correctly. Try inserting and playing a music CD.

If you can hear music or audio and still can't hear the previews make sure that you have the latest Adobe Flash Player installed on your computer. To get the latest Adobe Flash Player click here and follow the directions.
