Hi,
I installed the free Media Jukebox app this evening and really liked it. So much better than iTunes...
While loading music into my iPod, I bought the MP3 encoder. (Had an odd file type that needed conversion.) Now I've decided to move up to Media Center, which as I understand from reading the list of features, includes the MP3 encoder.

Can you see where this is heading? I'd like to apply the $9.99 I just spent on the encoder against the $39.99 for Media Center. Can we work out something here? Seems only fair.

Welcome to Media World.  Give us a week to see if we can figure out how to do that.  It's something we should do.  In the meantime, the trial period of MC should work for you.

[JoelE]

Sounds good. Thanks!

When I Go To Sears, I Always Ask For A 10% Discount, They Have Always Found A Way To Give Me A 10% Discount.

In Many Countries They Normally Barter The Price Of What The Marketeer Is Selling.

I Have Bought Many Programs On The Internet By Asking For A Discount (Normally Any Program Over $100).

I Find It Interesting This Question Has Not Come Up In The Past 6 Months.

Sounds Like A Good Idea For Both Parties.

Best of all, it would encourage both initial and subsequent purchases--the company sells more and the customers are more motivated to leave iTunes by the side of the road. Peace of mind and eternal joy for all concerned.

After a system restore, my 30-day trial expired even though I installed it just over a week ago.
Any progress on crediting the MP3 converter purchase against the purchase of a full Media Center license?

[John Gateley]

Yes, it's done, though I can't find it in the history now...

Good! So what's my next move?

[KingSparta]

John I Think He Is Saying That He Bought MC Before The Changes, And He Is Waiting For His Refund.

[JoelE]

What I mean is if I purchase the full version, will it cost $9.99 less than usual in that I bought the MP3 plugin that is a part of the full version.

[JimH]

It should, but get the latest build from the download page here and install it first.  Then watch the price carefully.  Let us know if you have trouble.

Thanks for upgrading.

[JoelE]

Uninstall first?

[JimH]

Not necessary.

[JoelE]

Installation and payment went just fine. Thanks for your help!

But the reason for the system restore I mentioned before has returned. After upgrading to the newest build yesterday (I think), I get the "Windows Explorer has stopped working" dialog box. Same thing happening now too. I'll continue this on another thread.
