Here are a few pieces of info that should help explain how they work:

• Most of these coupon codes are just a dollar-value discount. If you see a coupon code for 1 free month of the All-Access pass, it will most likely give you $9.99 off of any All-Access or higher membership. If you’re not sure, feel free to contact us and ask.
• Not all coupon codes work with all levels of membership. Be sure to check which Passes your code will work with!
• You will still need a PayPal account to sign up, even if you have a free month. We get asked about this one a lot. Since this is a subscription site, the system will begin billing you after your free period has run out. If you don’t want to pay for monthly new music, just cancel your subscription before the free period runs out. It’s way easier than canceling a Magazine, really.
• Update: Ignore that previous point… we’ve got it down now where your membership simply STOPS at the end of a free trial period. Your account is still there, though, so all you have to do to remain a member is go Backstage and use the “Add/Renew subscription” section.
• We’re still figuring this stuff out. Seriously. This is relatively new technology and we’re trying to make it as smooth as possible for you. If you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to contact us and we’ll do our best to iron out the wrinkles.

Thanks for your interest and support for Matthew’s music. We hope this clears up any questions you might have!

There are a few ways to grab the new samples as they’re released:

• Read The Blog, samples are posted next to the full tracks.
• Scan the Sample category.
• Subscribe to the free Everything feed via RSS or Email. Samples won’t be posted to other feeds since those subscribers are getting the full tracks anyway.
• Follow our updates on Twitter (when it works).

We hope you enjoy the freebies. Consider them an appetizer for the main course that subscribers get every month!
