Download2MP3 Multi-Track Shop Opens for Business

Yes - by George they did it!

The new Multi-Track Shop extension to the Download2mp3 website was opened late yesterday afternoon - we have PayPal and major payment card acceptance options:

BitPass provides a very good solution for customers buying one or two tracks at a time but our new PayPal arrangement makes multi-track purchases much easier with a standard shopping cart adapted for download only products. The alternative payment options should also lower the barriers to purchase for customers who are unwilling to set up a BitPass Account.

The new facility enables us to offer volume discounts and we are beginning with a Launch Discount of 20% for all orders of four tracks or more. Regular readers will note that - yes - we did implement the volume discount contribution to osCommerce yesterday with the absolute minimum of fuss.

Here is a lofi streaming sample of one of our original arrangements of Scarlatti's Harpsichord Sonatas K531 in E Major - if you like it why not visit our Multi-Track Shop and buy all five for $3.16(US) after the volume discount has been applied.

Customer Contact

Working over the internet you tend not to have too much customer contact. You can see the visitors coming through the site and what they stop to look at or in our case listen to. Even when they progress from visitor to customer the flow of funds and goods are achieved automatically and there is little human contact. So it is quite nice from time to time to get those little e-mail challenges like the one yesterday who couldn't find his downloaded files. It turns out that he had fallen victim to Microsoft's help in the way of hidden files on XP. Those of us who grew up on 2000 are used to being able to thread our way all round our directory structures - even unto the depths of our temp files with all their wondrous collections of cookies. In XP by default users, including those with admin priviliges, are not trusted to see these nether regions or even be aware that they are there but when IE is also configured to automatically put downloaded files there we have a problem.
