Uploading Audio Digital Products
To add an audio digital product, from your Shop Admin:
- Click Products
- Click the "+Add New Product" button
- Select Audio for the Product Type
- From the Product Menu select the "Audio Tracks" option
- Hit the “Upload File” button and select the audio files you wish to sell - These files must be in MP3 / WAV / AIFF / FLAC / WMA
- Hit Save once you have selected the relevant files and wait for them to upload.
- Now head back to the "Basics" option and enter all of the relevant details e.g. Title, Price, etc.
Note:
When you upload an audio file, it needs to be transcoded and processed prior to Enabling the product. Depending upon your file size, this may take a few moments.
Exclusive Audio Digital Product Settings
Certain product settings can only be applied to Audio Digital Products. See below for a list of these:
- Individual Track Price
Each track from an audio product can be sold individually at a separate price.
- 60sec Previews
Allow customers to listen to 60 second preview of each track by ticking the box. Note: you need to activate the Audio Preview Enhancement for this option to display.
- Other Buy Links
If you would like to give customers the option of buying your digital products from other platforms add links to display on the product page here. All you need to do is select the platform and enter the relevant URL.
Lossless files
To offer lossless downloads you must upload lossless files, rather than MP3s. Add detailed metadata to lossless files before you upload them. Lossless files you upload will be directly downloaded by your customers.
If you upload an MP3 file rather than a lossless file type we will compress this to 128kbs for streaming purposes. As we cannot convert a lossy file in to lossless, we highly suggest uploading a lossless file in the first instance.
