Can an audio CD be downloaded instead of mailed after purchase?

Hello,
My product to sell is an audio CD. Two questions:

In addition to giving customers the option to order the CD and have it mailed, can ZenCart be set up to download the CD instead?
If so, can the download be controlled to where the customer can only download it once?
Thank you for any help.

Go to the Tutorials/FAQ section (link at top of page) and search for download. You'll get a bunch of articles on downloadable products.

For example:

Thank you and sorry for not finding those first. I'm mostly unclear on the concept of downloading a CD with multiple tracks, wondering if the CD would download as one MP3 file or if the tracks would download individually. Do you happen to know how that is normally done and how to set it up?
Thanks again.

Sorry, I don't have any experience with downloadable products. I'm sure someone can jump in and give you some info.

My suggestion would be to zip the individual mp3's together. Easier for you to set-up and easier for your customers to download.
