Music Store Help

[dreadlocks1221]

Hi,

I am new to using zen cart an I was looking to setup an online music store in which you can purchase individual songs and download them. I set up a sample store to play around with and I'm wondering what the best way to set up the song list for each album is.

if you see my site at www.djdesignsite.com/cart
you can see I put up a sample product. I have a little understanding of the option names and values and I managed to make 1 song so far that can be purchased and downloads fine. I'm just wondering what would be the best way to add songs because I don't think that making an option value and linking it to a name and then doing a product attribute is going to be good for managing a lot of albums.

If anyone knows a better way to make track listings in zen cart please let me know and all help is appreciated, thank you in advance

Also would there be a way to just have the value without the name (like the meaning in tragedy without the track 1)?

I'm not the most experienced with zen cart but I'll tell you what I did and maybe you'll find that I have a different step than you

When I go to catalog->catagories/product before I hit the new product I make sure it says product - music instead of product general

now what you can do is check your layout settings under configuration and if you change one thing at a time (and change it back if it doesnt work) you may be able to isolate the issue

have a look at my other site .. is this what you mean?

Ya that site looks alright, I'm trying to figure out a way to lists downloadble tracks in a more efficient way than the attribute controller

Hi!
may I slightly change the topic? Does anyone know how to upload a database with music type products? I have 190 titles, each one with at least one pdf and mp3 file and really do not want to do it all by hand.

I'm not sure whether I should have started a new thread for this. Please forgive if I should have. I'm new at this and have never found a new posting button, only several "closed for posting".

Thanks
jcw

Could you describe more clearly what you would like to display.

Example:

Genre
Artist
Album Title
Image of Album
Tracklist
Price
Download link ? Text hyperlink? Check box? Option Box ?

You must purchase full album not individual tracks?

With some clear info and description I can then picture it to know how I would go about building.

if you have an example site you can point to that will help.
