The Absolute Sound Subscription
Anyone else have difficulty getting their digital subscription to work? Once registered, you're supposed to be able to click on the current issue and read your digital copy. I've subscribed but evidently it's not recognizing my subscription...or something like that??? This has been going on for several months. Yes, I said several months. I've even unsubscribed and resubscribed. I'm running your basic, everyday, Windows 10.
They keep asking me if I've enabled pop ups. I've told them yes...repeatedly. And that's as far as it goes. Then I'll let a week or two pass and try it again. Then it's the same thing all over again. I'll go to my account, log in, check to make sure pop ups are allowed, and click on a magazine cover and...nothing happens. I'm able to log in and access my account but when I click on the magazine covers as directed nothing happens.
Any suggestions? I'm sure it's not the case but I sort of feel like I've been scammed. I think The Absolute Sound is a reputable magazine. But I'm just going in circles with them on getting my digital subscription to work.Amplifier: Pass Labs INT 250 integrated.

Re: The Absolute Sound Subscription
Hmmm.....interesting. Just received another computer generated response. Soon there will be an email message saying make sure your pop up blocker is disabled (pop ups allowed). Business as usual. That's the extent of their efforts thus far. If they don't make much more of an effort to rectify this issue I'm about to give them a lot of "free advertising". Ignore me and I won't go away. Anyone else besides imprezap2 and myself had this problem? I have a feeling there is a lot more of this going on than we know. Too bad. Seems like a decent rag aside from their subscription issues.Amplifier: Pass Labs INT 250 integrated.

Re: The Absolute Sound Subscription
I find it much easier to just pop into my local Barnes and Noble once a month, buy a cup of coffee at their café and read TAS there.

Re: The Absolute Sound Subscription
I am 100% for as many digital subscriptions as possible. As long as I can download the issues as PDF files so a) I can use the PDF reader of my choice and b) I'm not locked into having to use someone else's app to access the content. TAS currently allows this, Stereophile forces you to use the Zinio app (or their own Zinio-branded app). What happens to my content when either Stereophile or Zinio go belly up?
I also don't have an issue with my TAS digital subscription, but I'm doing the same thing as Projectman -- except using an Android tablet instead.Electronics: Pass Labs XP-22, Pass Labs X250.8

Re: The Absolute Sound Subscription
Yes, I and a number of other potential customers on TAS' Facebook group page have had the exact same problems. If memory serves from reading the posts back in mid-2019 on the FB page, the subscription failure modes have been a problem for over a year now.
Lee is a good buddy, very experienced and proactive, so I am confident he is on the case and will get this problem resolved ASAP.
Cheers.

Re: The Absolute Sound Subscription
That's good news. I actually think TAS is a good magazine. I'm looking forward to my digital copies. Hope it doesn't take too much longer. I'll keep checking to see if my digital magazine copies are activated.

Re: The Absolute Sound Subscription
Many thanks for the feedback Lee. I have also had the same issues. Also, could you please see if the digital version can be made available the same day as the print version as my digital issues is always later. Hope the new app is ready soon. Thanks for your support.

I've found the print version is much easier to read in the bathroom......

Don't know when things are to be sorted out but I just checked my subscription and it's not working yet.
