Is Zen Cart right for me?

Hi,

Before, I install and try to set up my site, I was hoping some folks could give me their opinion on whether Zen-Cart will meet my needs.

Basically, I need a basic shopping cart that I will use to sell some new cds (which I will have multiple copies available) as well as some items from my record collection that I will only have one copy of.

-- I want to be able to customize the cart so it fits the look and has the header (with all the buttons, links...) of my site that I am creating. And would I be able to link these buttons to pages for products with certain parameters. For example, link to all Beatles CDs or link to all vinyl.

-- Payment would be made through PayPal. I wouldn't be taking credit cards on the site itself. In other words at checkout, I would want to be able to direct to paypal for payment.

-- I would want to be to list and item that I only had 1 quantity of and hopefully once someone purchased it, zen cart would be able to remove it from the site so another person doesn't try to buy it.

-- On the pages where products are listed, I would want to be able to add buttons that would link to mp3s located on the site, so people can hear clips.
I am assuming I would upload fields for items and a picture. But would there be a way to upload buttons that would go next to the picture that would link to MP3 clips elsewhere on the site

-- Would there be advantages or disadvantages of installing zen cart in the main root folder versus a subfolder called shop.

-- I want to be able something simplier or more advanced

I would appreciate any opinions anyone might have on whether Zen Cart would meet my needs and be a good choice.

Thanks

Kirk

sure, zencart will be able to handle all of that no problem. check out my site, i am selling new cds which i create, and also have a sample meditation inducing mp3 download available. All of that stuff you want is built in to zencart... the main advantage to installing it in root is that people dont have to typr the subfolder to get into the shop. but there are other ways of getting around that like by modifying .htacess file, or setting up an intro page that people go to first then have a link there that sends them to the shop. once you get the hang of zencart its a snap. if you run into problems, the people here are very helpful.
