Setting up Mp3 Songs, Albums, CDs and Vinyl Records

Hello!

I'm building an online music store. We want to sell albums in three formats:

digital downloads
vinyl records and
CDs

Additionally, for each Album, we want to make each song downloadable as an individual purchase.

Are there any guidelines or best practices as to how to set this up? It seems like it would be a pretty common thing for people to do.

Thanks!

then search the forums for music tracks for many threads on the same subject.

Hey, thanks!

Would you advise that I make each song a product, and the group them somehow into an "album" with metadata or make a song and an album separate products?

Thanks!
