System requirements

If you can read this, you are probably OK! Congratulations! Start shopping or read on below.

In order to use our service, you will need to be able to do three things:

1. Browse catalog and shop
2. Download what you have shopped
3. Play the music you have bought

Let's take a look at what technical system requirements you need to perform the above mentioned tasks.

Shopping

Our shop is all HTML, which means you need a browser and an internet connection. If you can read this, you're in. Our shop was not designed to target any particular browser on any particular platform. That means you are welcome to shop using Your favorite browser on your favorite operating system.

Downloading

When you have found the music you like, and have paid for it, you will get an email with hypertext links to your music. Hypertext links are the blue words you can click on to get to a page or a file. This means that you need an internet connection and a browser to download our music (or even your email client if it handles links). If you can read this, you're in.

Last time I checked what people are using to download, I found that they were using nine (9) different operating systems, and over nine different browsers all in different combinations.

Playing the music

Our files are either plain MP3 192 kbit, or a zip file containing several MP3s bundled together to provide a single file download. The zip files are standard zip files, and to unzip them you need some kind of standard unzipping software. Most computers come with this pre-installed, so you probably only have to double click the file to start extracting the MP3s. We have a list of free unzipping software on our resources page.

The MP3 files are a de facto file format for digital music files. It is the most wide spread format and also the format supported by most software and hardware music players. To give you a list of what players you can use would require too much space, since the list would go on practically forever. To name a few software players, you can use WinAmp, Windows Media Player, iTunes, XMMS, MacAmp, and many more. A longer list is available on our resources page, at the bottom of that page.

What about copy-protection?

All our files are already protected via copy-right laws. We trust that you follow the law. Therefore we have not enforced any limitations on our MP3 files. You can copy them to all your devices and computers, and you can burn them to audio CDs. As long as you don't sell them or share them to others, you have the right to do whatever you want with your files.

Rather than adding DRM to our files, to prevent our customers from doing what they see fit with their music, we choose to trust that our customers are not criminals and that they are without criminal intent.
