I would be guided by Wikipedia in this case :

"... By convention, 12 AM denotes midnight and 12 PM denotes noon ..."

"... 12 a.m. means noon and 12 p.m. means midnight ..."


Take your pick ;D

I've had the email about the 1939 being available from 16th Feb, slightly irritated that I've already forked out for a couple of records, but plenty more to look at now they're free! Didn't know about the free weekend, but then they probably wouldn't email me about this as I've just taken advantage of the half-price world subs.
For anyone who has a reasonable amount of time left on their 12month subscription, I would advise not ticking the auto renew to get the loyalty discount, because there may well be better offers later in the year. This is the second half price offer I've had, usually comes out around Christmas?

I haven't had one yet but I don't mind.   They've announced it on their Facebook page so that's good enough for me.

They usually send out information on Fridays with their new records etc.

You can always untick the auto renew when a cheap rate offer comes along.  ;) 

Until recently I always had the box ticked to auto renew and it never stopped me from taking up half price offers.

I have a monthly subscription. Is the free access only for the year long subscription?
