It's a PITA, but I'd actually recommend getting them blank and loading yourself. That way you immediately identify any dud ones *and* if you keep an eye on transfer speeds you can also spot some more likely to fail (we had a few Diversions ones that were running half the speed of the rest, so we binned them).

got any of the mback in refunds, or did you go for some dodgy chinese ones? :P

It's always dodgy Chinese ones, irrespective of where the point of sale is. Was only about 15 out if 200 so we just ignored it.

Thanks for the feedback guys, im always happy to hear opinions, good or bad and will take everything on board as we build the second album :)
Ive had a few people say some of the mp3s on the usbs are corrupt whereas the majority seem to have been working fine. I'll be taking this up with the company who supplied them.
Either way, the digital download links for both mp3 & wavs will be emailed over the next few days :)
Thanks again for supporting the release!

Thanks for the advice Jon. Noted!
It's a shame that a few weren't up to standard. Either way, i'll be ordering replacements so if anyone is having trouble using theirs please message me & i'll send you a replacement as soon as I receive them.
If you're lucky I may "sweeten" the deal with another bag of Haribo for your troubles ;)

Used to have nightmares with this particular model of USB!
The admin folks at work would order a pile with company branding on them and pass them out leaving it to us in IT to pick up the pieces when they inevitably failed and very important data got trashed.
CDJay is spot on with the write speeds (and also read speeds), my particular highlight was one getting so hot the rubber part of it melted and glued itself into the port, luckily it was a front port and Dell had those front panel as spares!
These days I will only touch Sandisk & Kingston flash drives.

Thanks for the feedback Graham, it's definitely a lesson learned! Serves me right for trying to be nice and send out a unique freebie! Haha
Next time i'll just send a larger bag of sweets. They seem to have been better received ;)

I think what you tried, putting the USBs in was an awesome move, its a shame you maybe had a few duds in your batch but don't let that put you off doing it again, CDJay's advice about self loading is solid. It is admirable for a first try! I once had to do 500 drives that came in shaped like Xmas trees (don't ask!) and we just over-bought by 10% and came in slightly over the 500 mark.
I do still have 1 or 2 foldy drives like yours from back in 2008 which (touch wood) are still going strong.
Keep up the good work, at least you are trying and doing something new with the product.

Sounds like the opposite to me but it wouldn't do for us all to be the same.

I figured. besides shitting on Gammer and such; our tastes usually tend to differ haha. Though it is another good indication Ken is working in the right direction across the board !

Thank you for the feedback! NeoQor is a Texan DJ/Producer that I work closely with :)
Oh! & don't you worry, i'll be unleashing a cheesy bag of tricks on the US visit!
Come up & say hi dude! I'll be the pale scotsman with the cap glued to my even paler, bald head, desperately trying to avoid the sun & survive the aftermath of the Metrocon liver assault! I'll say this in advance, please bring me water.
