How come I can't gain anymore credits? o_O?

[absentsoul]

Alright, well, I've just started, and only have 27 credits [ ack, yes, very, very little.. ]. So I played as many songs as I could, getting four credits here, eight credits there.. but my credits total STAYED 27.

Is this normal? If so, what am I doing wrong? ^_^;; I'd like my credits total to go up again, hehe. ^_^;;

Or is it the system? :\ Anyone else experiencing this problem? Eh.. thanks in advance for any help that comes my way ^_^. It's greatly appreciated.
