I thought when we posted an album with multiple disks we got one credit for each disk? Now I'm getting a message that I have to ship every disk in the set but that it's only worth one credit. I posted 3 2-disk sets because I wanted the extra credits for them! When did this change?

The only thing I can find in the help files is that if you post each disk separately you'll get credit for each one but if you post as a set you'll only get one credit. But if there is only one UPC for the whole set, what choice do you have?

Bren,

It's always been a multiple CD shipped = 1 credit.  SACD was talking about enhancements, one being that multiple CD sets would earn multiple credits (same as SADVD) - but I don't believe that this has taken place as of yet.

 

Regards,   Steve :)

This is the way it has always been here, though Steve's right, it's changing to one credit per disc sometime in the near future. If you want 2 credits for your sets, you should hold on to them until the site update happens.

Oh, OK. I guess maybe I was confusing it with SwapaDVD, where you do get one credit per disk in the set. Thanks.

You will be earning 1 credit per disc once the new system is implemented.

I've noticed more than a few titles on SaCD where it's actually a double CD set, but the system lists the title as one CD, with 30 some-odd tracks.

I've noticed that too, Nicole. There was even a triple-disc Bach organ set that went unclaimed (probably because no tracks at all were listed).

Just wondering, does anyone know when this site update should happen?

We haven't been given a timeline, Nicole.  Just that tantalizing "soon!"
