    Default Selling Full CD Downloads

    I am an online record store using version 8.1. I currently don't sell downloads but would like to do this. It appears the variant only supports selling one song at at time. I have several questions:

    1. Can I sell full CDs instead of songs individually? Currently, my site is set up to only show one variant. It appears the link for downloads is for one song, not an entire album.

    2. Is there a way to sell downloads while storing the files at another server? IE i have limited space but I have a yahoo hosted site that is unlimited.

    3. Is there a way to use a 3rd party to handle the downloads but sell them through the storefront? If so, any 3rd party recommendations?

    Thanks,
    Alan

    A: Yes, you would need to package it into a single file used for the download. such as a zip.

    2. Is there a way to sell downloads while storing the files at another server? IE i have limited space but I have a yahoo hosted site that is unlimited.
    A: No, as there is no way for the software to restrict access to files on another server.

    3. Is there a way to use a 3rd party to handle the downloads but sell them through the storefront? If so, any 3rd party recommendations?
    A: Don't know of any, might have some luck getting in contact with a developer for this.
