    Album from play.com arrived...without a CD?!"

    So a friend ordered an album from play, it arrived today and upon opening it, there wasn't a CD...

    What does he do!?

    He should get his friend to ask random people on an internet forum before realising it might be a good idea to contact the place he brought it from.

    I don't approve of Play's new anti-piracy measures
    My only concern is should I hide my true identity? A costume maybe?

    0iD: Plus weeing in it every now & again does it good
    scaryjim: 10" is just a little large to hold comfortably in one hand, which makes it a lot harder to tap, swipe and generally interact with.

    Re: Album from play.com arrived...without a CD?!"

    I didn't order anything from Play.com but they sent me a cd, no case or anything

    Should I call up and complain?

    I took it upon myself, as I was curious. He has to wait till tomorrow to call them.

    And yes it was sealed

    Re: Album from play.com arrived...without a CD?!"

    Then the factory messed up. It happens. I have a CD that says one thing, but when you play it, it is clearly something else entirely. 99 tracks of Italian singing is not what I ordered!

    I decided to keep it and buy another copy of the album I was actually after. You never know it may be a collectors piece in years to come (doubtful though).

    Can understand that as with LPs the ones with typos/wrong tracks on the sleeves are worth more IIRC
