How do I buy the song once I find it?

 

 

 

 

  • When you find the song that you are looking for, press the ‘Add to Cart’ button [the blue plus sign on the right hand side of the row]. This will add the song to your cart [shopping basket] so that you can buy it later. The word ‘added’ will show next to the button as the track is added.
  • You can add as many songs as you like to your cart.
  • You can have a look at your cart at any time, by pressing the shopping trolley button. You can then press ‘Continue Shopping’ or ‘Checkout’ if you’d prefer to move to the payment process.
  • You can also access the checkout process by pressing checkout at the top, in the green menu.
  • Please select the option you would like – a PC or Mobile download. Is your phone compatible?

  • Choose the 'mobile' option if you'd like the song to be delivered directly to your mobile phone. Note that you will not be able to move the track to another location. You may have heard the term DRM locked – it means that the track will lock to your handset and cannot be transferred to another handset.
  • Choose the 'PC' option if you'd like the song to be delivered to your PC. You will have the option to save the track to the location of your choice. Feel free to burn the track to a CD using your Windows Media Player - once you do that, you'll be able to move the track to your mobile phone or iPod, and play it in your car. The original track on your PC cannot be moved as it is also DRM locked.

  • Once you have completed the payment process by pressing proceed, the tracks will be allocated to your Download Zone.

Hint - mobile downloads

 

    If you bought a mobile download, received an SMS but you cant click on the link – it’s likely that your phone is not WAP enabled. If you call your service provider, they will send you an SMS with the settings and all you need to do is click on the SMS. Its that simple.
