Houston, we have a problem.

Here’s the facts:

•  The first set of BitTorrent seeds for La vie sous la mer had the wrong names for tracks 7 and 8.  The shorter of the two (4:07, acoustic guitar intro) should be “150 Years Later”.  The longer of the two (6:10, thumpin bass in 5/4) should be “Werewolf.”
• I fixed the track names as soon as I saw there was a problem.  However:
• This created a new set of BitTorrent seeds with the correct track names.  If your download is “stuck”, try going to the Jamendo page and starting the download again.

OK, that’s problem #1.  The other problem is:  I have no idea how many times this album has been downloaded.

When the album first was seeded, my client uploaded the files again and again, almost the entire day.  However, the Jamendo counters for “downloads” stayed at “+”, and the counter for “listens” stayed at “0″.

Therefore, I have no way of knowing how well the album is doing.  I also have no way to improve its ranking on Jamendo.  Part of the formula for being in the listings is based on number of downloads (or at least it was — if this is broken all over, I don’t know what the new deal will be).

So I am asking this:

• If you liked my album, please make sure you have a free Jamendo account and login name.
• Make sure you “star” the album.  This increases its visibility, and links it to other similar works.
• You can also post some handy players and links to the album from your webpages, to get the word out.
• Finally, if you have the time, write a review.

I don’t know any other way to work around this, and right now, I feel a bit let down.  I worked hard on this album, and it was my baby in a way.  Now it’s out there, apparently alone.
