Multiple MP3 downloads

I was wondering if someone could help me. I'm trying to set up a cart that works like Amazon or CDnow. Basically, I want to have an album page with a list of downloadable mp3s on it. Next to each track I want a preview and purchase link.
Is this possible to do with Zen Cart?
I'm only able to make it have an album that you click on each track seperately, which open a track page for previews and purchasing.

Something like this:```

| Album |

<) Track 1 O MP3 Buy
<) Track 2 O MP3 Buy
<) Track 3 O MP3 Buy

Re: Multiple MP3 downloads

zen cart's music features let you add clips to a given product for preview or purchase ... all from the product page itself.
the product-listing area doesn't include finer details of attributes such as music clips. to do that i think you'll end up needing to hire a programmer to make the various required changes, as they're quite involved.

Re: Multiple MP3 downloads

I am interested in building similar product pages. How difficult a task would it be to add this functionality? Even if it were as crude as building the tables of tracks by hand, is there a way to have checkboxes that add multiple products to the carts without creating a lot of new code?

Re: Multiple MP3 downloads

aussach, here's a link to a music site I worked on.

Every Angle Music.

I wanted to have something similar to what you want.

I want to have an album page with a list of downloadable mp3s on it. Next to each track I want a preview and purchase link.

As you will see in the link above, you get an album with a list of all tracks. The first track plays by default (just a few seconds). You can preview additional tracks by clicking on the preview button to the right of each track. To purchase individual tracks just click on the appropriate check box. Once purchase is made, selected MP3s are available for download.

I did this some time ago and would have to review my notes on how I accomplished this.

Re: Multiple MP3 downloads

How do I have all MP3s shown on one page with a checkbox next to each?
It seems that I can see all, but then I can click on each song and it then lets me click on the 'Add' checkbox.
I want all songs on an album to show up on one page as shown in the example site shown above (http://shop.everyanglemusic.com/index.php?main_page=product_music_info&products_id=1)
