I got the card in my vinyl. I ordered it off Juno if that helps anyone.

Funny thing....there is a typo on the card. It says to go to www.chemicalbrothers.com/bonus ......see the problem anyone......simply missing 'the' sending you to a 'random you can buy this site' page.



Could you post a photo of the card please ? Just to see what it looks like...

you need to copy the cd to itunes or media player then access the web page listed, it then reads the info from your itunes etc.

make sure your browser enables pop up windows and the widget will open up for you...or should do

i got the info on the mp3 tracks bit rate from the files after i downloaded them from the web page you get to after you enter the competition


I imported into itunes and got nothing :(

At least i'm not alone on this problem of getting bonus content

Edit: Why doesn't someone add www.thechemicalbrothers.com/bonus to the front page?

Joslyn suggested putting this on the main page, too. I asked around to see if this is a possibility (or who would be the contact for uploading info to the main site) and am awaiting a response. It's obvious the issues are still persisting so maybe they are waiting until everything is sorted out before updating the main page?

I want to know if the bonus material will be anything other than the mp3s of the album?
Also, has anyone been able to verify their cd using Snow Leopard + Safari?

1. Yeah; it's a little disappointing having gone through all that work to get the bonus content and then seeing that it's just the album (this is coming from someone who bought it with an iTunes pass and therefore already has the mp3s).
2. Snow Leopard yes, Safari no (I use Firefox). So I think I know which one is at fault...

Im running Leopard + Safari, and on my second attempt with the cd version I was able to verify. My iTunes pass album I purchased wont locate, and it fails to verify. As for my vinyl version, I'm one of the unlucky people who did not get a bonus code card. So I emailed that email address that was provided earlier in this thread, and I'm awaiting for a reply.

Regarding the tracks, when they say 'alternate versions,' do they mean unmixed extended versions?
Imported directly from Ibiza.

I have downloaded the bonus content one more time. There seems to be a difference between the files up now and which I downloaded 2 weeks ago. Then the tracks were 2 seconds longer making the total run time of Further 52:10. Now they seem to be their original size with a total rumtime of 51:56.
And Swoon have been renamed into "Swoon W/ Stephanie Dosen"
All the tracks sound the same though, no changes in that.

Tried downloading the bonus content yesterday. I was surprised that there was no link on the front page. So I had to find my wrapper and find the url.
Once I accessed the site, I was bummed to find that the contest was not open to US residents. I proceed to download the or view the bonus content. I was able to access the site on Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.11 (website notes 10.5 is required) with Firefox and after downloading the Java applet and restarting Firefox and making sure iTunes was not accessing the SuperDrive the applet finally recognized my CD.

After downloading the linked mp3 files there appears to be no difference. What is the point to offer bonus content as mp3s in the CD version if I can simply import my CD into iTunes with my own settings such as a higher bit-rate?

:(

I'm a lucky Australian and I got the CD/DVD version which has a sticker on the front.
The sticker has the bonus web address on it with directions and what not. Once you go on it you need the CD of the album in the drive to access the 'bonus' content. You don't need it copied into iTunes or any shit like that, I don't now how it works for people who actually bought it digitally off iTunes though (why the fuck would you do that anyway, other than to get Don't Think? Sorry to people who did, but I hate paying for digital music).

Anyway, the bonus content is as people have said: mediocre quality mp3's of the album, not changed at all. Kinda pointless 'bonus' content considering I ripped each track off the CD at much higher quality... These tracks would be useful for people with vinyl though.

Could anyone who is having problems with the web content please send me an email with the exact problem you are having, i.e. and warnings, error messages, etc.

I'll pass it on and hopefully they can find a fix for it.

Could you let us what should be the bonus web content? All of us are thinking unmixed tracks while Tom said something about slightly different arrangements.

sorry to hear that some of you are having difficulty accessing the bonus material-we will get going on sorting it out....
the bonus stuff includes all the tracks in their separated form,they have slightly different arrangements to the segued album versions so some of you might dig it.also i was unaware that the files were not at least 320 -we'll try and get that improved too as nobody wants to listen to 160 mp3s now do they??!!
cheers
tom

The content now available is just low quality, 160 kps, Further.

Hi,

I'll email them and see if they can clarify that for us all but I probably won't get an answer till next week since it's the weekend now. But I will post it up as soon as I get a reply.
