So.....no free album.
ADDED: Additionally, their site map shows nothing regarding a free monthly album.

The only reason that I can think of that it wouldn't be on the site map is the fact that each webpage with the FLAC album choices, along with a listing of their tracks, and along with buttons to click on in order to download one, has the subscriber's email address embedded in the URL's. So, each subscriber has his/her own, unique URL to see that webpage, and get the information about the tracks on the album and make the request of the album that he/she wants. That's also the reason that I haven't given out the "direct" URL for that webpage--first, it has my email address embedded in it, and second, once I've made my choice, no one else (not even me) would be able to use that webpage again (to do something unethical and against the rules like get more than one album). Oh, I did try cutting out my email address in the URL, but I got the same results that I had gotten before.
I hope that that the above makes sense. I know that I say it a lot, but I am digitally-challenged and I have to work my way slowly through Internet- and computer-related issues, and that's with just the elementary-level stuff, at that!
Based upon her email message yesterday (refer to post #29 of this thread), I have just written Ms Saquig at Naxos and asked her to send me the first Rossini choice (she said that it would be in a zip file) of the three. I also gave her a heads up that there would probably be others from MobileRead who would also be writing her to make a request for one of the albums.
