No Enhanced content on UK Skype Blue Sky?


Recommended Posts

I bought the 'Special Deluxe Edition' (in the uk) with the DVD, thinking that if there were any extras, they'd be included.....

 

.... I haven't got anything 'enhanced' either!

 

Seems a little unfair :ohwell

Same here, CD+DVD and no extras.

 

Seems as though the CD/DVD combo has no enhanced file, whereas if you buy just the CD, it does. Strikes me as being a little odd. Now who said something about hooking us up with the extras.mov? :shifty

 

Seriously, I'm disappointed with this development.

I feel a little vindicated, but I wish I was the only one with this isssue (now that I got that 12 y/o out of me). I have sent emails to both wilcoworld HQ and Support and Nonesuch and no one has responded.

I bought the CD/DVD version in Canada which has the enhanced CD logo both on the package and the CD .I can see a deliniation on the disc but I cannot access any enhanced content because two computers (so far)don't recognize any content other than audio files.

I haven't had problems with any previous Wilco discs but there is a problem with this one.

I have an enhanced lp copy, but I cant figure out how to get it in my computer, anybody else have this problem?

 

if you set it on fire, it should shrink down to a size that fits in the cd drive - it worked for me :thumbup

I have the deluxe, and the CD "extras" file got me to the little window where I could open up the player for the webcast, but that is all. I wonder if the .mov file is more a .mov file in name than in actual movie-ness.

 

Based on the wording in the official announcement (words like "updated" and "downloads"), I assume that there may be a way to use the disc to access goodies they put forth later. But that's just me.

Bought mine in Dublin and there is def no .mov, just the 12 audio tracks.

 

I dont live in the UK so the "you can just go the show" argument is pointless.

 

This sucks mainly because we didnt know and spent a long sunday night trying to launch the player.

Just a little update, I sent off emails to Nonesuch, Wilcoworld HQ and Support and Tony Margherita Management and finally today I heard from Emily Rosenblum from Margherita management. She was very nice and is sending me a new disc. So there it goes, cool of them to send a new disc but still a little confused as to why I heard back from management and not the record company or the website. Maybe that is absolutely appropriate as I have never had a problem like this before. In the meantime I was unable to hear the show Sunday, caught yesterday's and I can't wait for 6/21. :monkey

Did you get any more responses to your emails? I too bought the UK CD/DVD combo and don't have access to the enhanced content. I was annoyed not to be able to listen the London show last Sunday, but I'm now really gutted that I can't download "The Thanks I Get"!

I hadn't tried to access the enhanced content until today, but I think I'm in the same boat. I bought the CD+DVD, and the both the box and disc are labeled with the "Enhanced CD" logo, but I can't locate anything besides the audio files.

 

I guess I'm going to send off an email...

In order to access the bonus content, you must be connected to the internet, and the faster your connection the better.

 

There are actually two disc images on the Sky Blue Sky CD.

From the "Devices With Removable Storage" area there will be an icon for the Wilco CD you've inserted. Right click on the bonus content icon and choose Explore from the pop-up menu. A window should open with the bonus content with a read me file for the particular enhanced contents instructions.

 

Double-click or Open the file called extras.mov. This will launch a QuickTime movie.

 

 

 

If you see a notice that you need to Enable Flash.

 

On Mac OS X:

 

1. Open System Preferences in the Apple menu.
