    Default Selling an entire cd as a download

    I am using the latest version of Zen Cart. I haven't added anything or done anything other than brand the look. The site is here: http://www.pennsylvaniabluegrass.com/new

    I am selling mp3 downloads. I want to give the shopper the option of purchasing individual tracks or the entire cd. I have the individual tracks set up fine but the only way I can figure to sell the entire cd is to zip all the tracks together. Is that correct or is there a better way? I think many of the shoppers coming to this site will not know what a zip file is or how to extract it.

    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Create a self-extracting zip but be careful about size. If it's too large, the system might fail on the download.

    The only way I know to create a zip file is to select the files in explorer, hit "Send To" and select "Compressed File" that does not create a self extracting file so how would i do that?

    and how large is too large

    thanks

    You will need to check your system for file size settings. Your host should be able to help.

    7Zip is a free download and the instructions for creating an SFX with it is at http://tinyurl.com/7os3nuv. Both are free.
