Well I have most of my collection downloaded onto memory sticks these days so less of a worry than the last one was. I will just spend the weekend patching any holes from last few purchases. Curious to see what new features the new app actually brings. I always back mine up on external hard drive.

Honestly hearing that we got to restart our passwords when we log into the new website doesn’t help but I do wondering if they will sneakily add a price increase after the new update makes me wondering I should do a big order before the 30th just in case things go pear shape

If that picture in the article is any indication of what the site is going to look like.. John Barrowman, interesting selection. ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/6343532/images/ZBDvOFPmQgNwxFXLpuoD.gif) Gives me false hope that Absent Friends may not be absent forever I should hope not the overreaction and pulling of absent friends was a Colossal mistake and let’s face it they could have easily just released it with no fan fare and then simply decide to retire captain jack as a character if need be

Just download & play on a different music player app. May look into that at some point. It was just so easy having the BF app to do it all for me. For the next wee while I’ll stick to podcasts and music when I’m out walking the dog or driving. As I listen to a lot of other things I just like to have it all on one audio player. So using the BF app wasn't easy for me. & I don't trust it! So like to have a back up anyway.

I started backing up releases I hadn't downloaded yet. When I select the option for "released but not downloaded" BF shows me some things I downloaded a long time ago as "not downloaded". I noticed a few of those the last time they updated the website, but there are even more now. I guess it's better than losing stuff I should have in my account (which I haven't experienced, so far). I wonder if I'll get more releases I've downloaded showing as "not downloaded" with the next website update. ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/6343532/images/ZBDvOFPmQgNwxFXLpuoD.gif)

Slooowly re-downloading everything to a hard drive now.

I have multiple hard drives for most of my media. Back up everything in more than one place.

The BF site still seems to be having issues. Not loading for me right now.

Big Finish: "There's going to be a new website and a new app and all the stuff you have now won't work when it launches but don't worry you can download everything now as a back up just to be on the safe side oh no everyone is trying to download everything and now our server has fallen over don't panic don't worry everything will be fine."

Should work providing you've the right Version of OS but why would you the Customer assume you'd have to Upgrade your OS just because they would've added more functionality, and with only 4 Days notice if they don't tell you.
