Always glad to get new music. when it’s free… all the better.great idea!
November 1st, 2008 at 1:27 pm
Glad to hear you’re coming on strong with an even better service. If only I could actually download these songs. It keeps saying there’s an error processing the order. And it happened on a paid song as well, which kept going up in price as I retried. Ah, launch bugs, gotta love ‘em. Ok maybe not :-9

Thank you so much! This is a great website, very much appreciated!
November 1st, 2008 at 2:51 pm
Not feeling the love today, either. I got my email yesterday but today I get “link expired” and other technical errors. I’ll try again later.
November 1st, 2008 at 3:46 pm
Bah! Don’t like the new site. Don’t like the free=fail bug. Really hate the buy=fail price+jack bug! Maybe time to cash in my street creds and move along.

Hey guys,
I’m one of the engineers at Amie Street - just posting to apologize for any problems you’ve had purchasing music today and explain what’s up. Here’s the quick summary (geek summary at the bottom):
- We had a problem with one of our servers appearing to be alive but actually acting somewhat zombie-like (I guess it was playing a joke for Halloween?). We design our systems to be reliable when servers are dead, but we didn’t account for this rare and unexpected scenario.
- Because of the “zombie” server, some transactions timed out which caused purchases to fail or give error messages.
- We’ve designed our systems so that you can never get charged for music that you didn’t successfully purchase — if you think you might have lost some credit in the process let us know and we’ll definitely reimburse you and investigate the problem.
- We did count failed purchases of free songs towards your “free song limit”. I just cleared out everyone’s counters back to 0 so you can download again even if you were getting the “free song limit” error earlier today.
- Amusingly enough these errors had nothing at all to do with our new launch or increased traffic - we’ve been running this version of our pricing and transaction service for months and months with no changes to this part of the code.
- Now that we know that this kind of bug can happen, we’ll be working on improving our systems’ reliability so it won’t happen again.
Thanks for your patience and please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us if you have any questions or experience any continued errors.
-Todd
GEEK SUMMARY:
One of our memcached servers has had some hardware problems recently and has been crashing often despite our best efforts to swap out bad hardware, etc. Somehow it got itself into a state this morning where memcached appeared to be up but in fact was not responding to any queries. Linux’s TCP stack is designed in such a way that when you call listen(2) on a socket, it will accept connections automatically up to a given backlog count regardless of whether the userland program is ready to call accept(2). So, when our transaction processor was trying to invalidate cache entries, it was sending “delete X” and waiting for the usual “OK” message back. While we handle dead servers just fine, our timeout structure was such that these kind of timeouts propagated back to the transaction processor causing the transactions to fail. I hot patched in a short timeout on these calls (thanks Erlang!) and things are running smoothly again.

Blech. I don’t like the new site at all.
Okay, I like the new player.
But other than that, I don’t like it at all. It looks *way* too corporate.
(Can you tell I’m not a big fan of all this Web 2.0 crap?)
November 4th, 2008 at 6:07 am
I like this site ! Amie Street is much more human and accessible than that, ahem, other one which I force to swallow my Amie St purchases ! Bit of a pity that prices are rising, but inevitable if you’re all going to survive (never do understand how the low price and ‘free’ artists make money, just hope there are loads of us downloading). Previous site design was more comfortable, or maybe I was used to it; I liked cranky, non-publicity photos before, don’t be too glitzy please. But thanks !

Also meant to say, happy voting today to all you US from UK !
