With a subscription, I usually get my issues at most a week or week-and-a-half after its released in UK. ComputerMusic issue 78 seems to be out for a while there, so I’m just curious if anybody in US got theirs yet? Or do I have to kick neighbor’s ass for stealing my mail

Not me. Ironically, I'm a new subscriber. I received #77 and--a month later--an invitation stating that since I had received my second issue, I would surely want to renew. I am not yet convinced that having a subscription is advantageous.

I didn't receive either CM or FM for the past month, so I went to the subscription management website. There's a link to report which issue you did not receive. Hopefully, by clicking on it, I initiated a process whereby I will receive these issues. This is the first time I've had a problem with my subscription (after about one year), and since it was both mags, it must be some kind of computer glitch or something. I considered writing an email to the publisher, just to let them know more explicitly that they were having an overseas delivery problem. They didn't send an autoreply email or anything.

Here's the subscription management link:
http://www.futuresubs.com/
The password is located on any mail you get from future publishing, including your subscription notification. I may write to them to find out if they would recommend my buying the issues at newstand and extending my subscriptions for another month (one option listed on the website).

In my past experience, the publishing folks are very nice and helpful. Once I ordered a backissue of CM. When it didn't arrive in a timely fashion, they sent me another one immediately (there may have been a problem with how they wrote my address). Subsequently, I got two copies of the issue I ordered, no extra charge. So I'm sure they'll correct the problem as soon as they know about it.

Either that, or your neighbor is stealing your mail. You might want to both visit the website and confront your neighbor, just to cover your bases. Even if he didn't steal your magazine, I'm sure he's up to something.

although it is great for newbies, and Ronan is a real nice chap I have to agree.

imo www.keys.de needs to be in english and worldwide.

Thanks for the trouble-report link. It was very simple to use.

Yeah, there's something up- I haven't received mine. But I'm going to have to use regular old email because if I have a subscription notice I certainly don't know where it is in the mess of paper work that is my office.

have to agree, i won't be renewing my subscription. its alright to get you started, but it does get really repetitive with content and there isn't really anything there for the more advanced users. whenever i get my copy i flick through it for half hour and then leave it. the only thing it is really useful for is the samples.

Has anyone in US got CM#78 yet?
