I just returned from a two-week vacation (away from internet access), which I notified SACD of in advance through the Away From Home option.

I ordered a CD last month, and it didn't arrive until after I departed. On my return, I found the standard sequence of automated reminders in my inbox: 1) did you receive the CD? if not, hang tight; 2) ditto, and please log in to the site; 3) ditto, and if you don't log in w/in 24 hours we're giving the credit to the sender. The last message was sent several days before my return.

I think the "giving the credit to the sender" idea is a really good one in general. However, when the recipient has already notified SACD of Away From Home status, it seems to me this shouldn't happen until the recipient's return. Fortunately, the CD actually did arrive in good condition, but it could easily have happened otherwise.

I understand that a sender should only have to wait so long for acknowledgement of receipt, and that this measure is in place to prevent abuse of the system. But it would be so much more user-friendly to have the automated reminder part of SACD at least recognize my Away status, and not demand that I log in within 24 hours when I've already declared my inability to do so.

(Please note that this is only a small flaw in a system which I have found to be, on the whole, exceptionally effective and pleasant to use.)

I wanted to save a search that came up empty, so that I could easily check to see if there was anything available by a certain artist. But there's no save search icon to click on. I only get the icon if I search for CDs of which there are already copies available!

Example: I'm looking for music by Loudon Wainwright III. So I search for "loudon". There are currently no CDs available by this artist, though he has plenty of titles in the database. Therefore, there is no save search icon to click on. On the other hand, if I search for "weezer", there is a save search icon, because there are tons of Weezer CDs available.

Surely that's not right...? If I want something that's available, I'll order it, and won't need to hunt anymore! It's only the CDs that aren't available that I'll want to keep searching for.

I've posted Susan McKeown's latest CD, which SACD has for some reason included in the genre of "rock & pop" (hardly!). She's an Irish singer, but not quite the ethereal/New Age type -- a little more earthy and traditional.

Here's her official site. If you go to the "Shop" page you can listen to samples of her music:

And if you like what you hear, here's the CD I have up for swap:
