Beta 2. I was thinking the Ubuntu One service was a cool idea, because
it allows you to buy songs directly from Rhythmbox. Well, the
experience has not been good. I understand about betas and all of that.
But services that take your money ought to work right, beta or not.
Yesterday, I bought seven songs through the Ubuntu One music store.
After I sent my credit card details, Rhythmbox showed a message next to
each song, saying: "Transferring to your Ubuntu One storage." <br>

Maybe it's just me, but I don't think this loosey-goosey beta thing
translates well to the world of financial transactions. I think
Canonical ought to pull this service until they can resolve the bug. Or
at least give people a reliable way to get all of the music they paid
for. Right now, nobody can tell me how to do that. And that's supposed
to be okay.<br>

As stated in the relevant bug [1], you can contact 7digital customer
service for a refund if you'd like to. I'm currently waiting on a
half-dozen tracks or so, and I'll be waiting until the issue is
resolved (or about another week) for my songs. It is a beta service, I
signed up for it knowing it was a beta service, and betas have bugs. I
can't think of a good mechanism for fully testing the U1MS without
having paying customers, unless it were limited to free Creative
Commons music or something similar. I will say that I feel they
could've worked on the bug somewhat faster, but it looks like it'll be
resolved soon. I intend to continue shopping at U1MS to support
Canonical (and the prices and selection are excellent).<br>
