MP3 Downloading Explained

What is a digital download?
A Digital Music Download is an electronic file that you can store on your PC, or a portable music player. When downloads are played on your PC, or on your portable player, they deliver a quality of sound that is almost as good as an audio CD, but without the need to store the very large files associated with music in audio CD format.

Is downloading music legal?
Downloading music is perfectly legal as long as all of the copyright holders of that particular piece of music have given their permission for it to be downloaded and stored in this way. All tracks sold through this website are 100% legal and have all been licensed by the relevant rights holders for downloading via this site.

How long does it take to download a track?
The average size of a typical 4-minute track, stored at 192Kbit/s, is about 6 Mbytes. To download this track on a broadband connection should take you about 1-2 minutes. On a dial-up connection expect this download to take around 15 minutes.

Will the downloaded tracks work on my iPod?
It seems everyone has an iPod these days and fortunately any music you download from whatever site can be used on an iPod. iTunes will convert the files when it loads them onto your iPod so you don't have to do anything.
