This is not the 1st time this as happened to me and when I connect the company by Email I some times get a reply and a new way of doing it But not always, but when I do I still don't get my download I then just give up.

Has anyone else had this trouble.

Now this may have been covered before (may be by me) but I could not find it so SORRY if it has. 

I've had issues with download codes when I buy an album a year or more after it came out. Typically download codes are only going to work for a limited amount of time, because the record company doesn't want to pay for the server space.

It sounds like you're having a technical issue though. Is your internet connection spotty by chance? Before I had my old router swapped for a new one by my ISP, I had constant problems with random WIFI dropouts. If you redeem a code, and your connection drops out during the process, you typically will run out of attempts after 1 or 2 tries because of the way things are set up on the label end.

If the artist has their own website, maybe try contacting them instead of the label.

IME indie labels are much more responsive when it comes to issues like this vs. the majors. I've even had indie labels give me FLAC downloads simply by showing them I purchased the record, even if was never meant to come with a download code in the first place.

your probable right on this occasion, I do have internet problems at the moment. You are also right about indie label I don't seem to have as many problems with them and also they tend to give you the better quality downloads too. there is one label I have had a lot of records off (can't remember off hand) that even store what you have had off them so that if you lose your music you can download it again, I think it's only once more but it's better than nothing. IT seems to me that the small indie labels appreciate you more for spending that bit extra on vinyl records. I have even had a CD put in with the RECORDS that I have bought too which I would prefer more than a download, again indie labels. Putting a CD with the Vinyl to me says how cheap CDs must be to manufacture. 

I would talk to your ISP about troubleshooting the internet issues. Over here my building was wired for fiber optic connection, so we switched to that service from a cable modem service. The problem was the routers they initially gave everyone were total junk, and half-crap rigged with an adapter box to work with fiber optic. After complaining regularly to the ISP I eventually figured out they were giving new customers a new router specifically designed for fiber. I demanded one of those routers, but it was a pain getting them to agree. Everything works so much better now it's not even funny.

RE: CDs as extras with records, I do appreciate that and wish more labels would do it. How much it costs to make a CD depends on the quantity. The more manufactured, the cheaper they are to make. Of course I am talking about making the physical product only, not mastering, graphic design, extra special packaging, or royalties/licensing paid to the rights holder or artists. All those other costs will far exceed the cost of making a plastic and metal disc.

Anyway, one thing you may notice is that some newer CDs by small scale indie artists aren't glass mastered CDs at all - they are professionally duplicated CDRs. Sometimes certain labels will hide this by using a black surface at the bottom or even a silver surface instead of the blue-greenish dye. One of my friends does the pro-CDR thing for his limited releases which are usually done in copies of 25-50.

Making vinyl is a lot more expensive, and he's doing that now also. However, it's not the cost of pressing each record that drives things up, it's every part of the process that you need to do in order to get each record pressed. Mastering, lacquer or DMM cutting, plating, jackets, etc. all drive up the cost before we get to royalties or license fees. The actual raw cost of just pressing each record is only a few dollars. However, you can't make a record without all that other stuff.

That's why it will cost you around $3,000 on the low end to get say 200-250 single LPs made before a single cent of royalties/licensing fees are paid. This is a bare bones deal. Add in a "name" mastering engineer, a real lacquer cut instead of assembly line DMM, tip-on jackets, etc. and the cost quickly goes up. Better plants also charge more than the budget places.

Just read my Emails and the label have asked me to send them Pictures of the album cover and download code so I have, so I'm hoping this issue will be sorted

My internet issue is down to the router, I am waiting for my internet provider to send me a new one but if they are anything like my old provider this may take a while. Over here in UK company's are quick to take your money but not so quick to sort out any issues you have. I am not saying they are all like because when I had a problem with my mobile phone last year the company sorted it all out and sent me a new phone with in less than 48hrs, They may not be the cheapest but when I have had problems they have been quick to sort it out that's why I have stayed with them for many many years, Not that I have had many problems with their phones or service 

I'm using Microsoft browser but last night I downloaded opera and today I tried again to lownload  still no luck and there is nothing wrong with my internet connection now.

I've always wondered what I was missing out on by not using the code.

It is only jagjaguwar that I have problems with most others I've been successful, one I had to have to set an account for my download but they keep a record of what you have downloaded so if you lose the music file you can download it again, I think for up to three times which is vary good plus it was a high quality FLAC file. Not all are so good some you only get mp3 but again most I have expereience with give a good quality download, One album I have by Warpaint even put the album cover with the file and gave you the choice of mp3, WAV or FLAC.
