Multiple downloadble files on one purchase?

I am using version 1.3.7
I sell downloadable products (mp3 files)
I have been able to do this with multiple files by bundling them together as a zip file. But i have some products that are quite big and I would rather do it as multiple files on the same purchase.

I bought the book (eStart your web store with zen cart) but although this describes the process, i cannot figure out from that description how to actually do it.

I can get to the point of it showing one file, but can't seem to add the others.

The URL of the relevant page on my site is:

http://bookstolistento.com/index.php?main_page=product_music_info&cPath=9&products_id=16

If I try to add other files throuth the attributes controller, it tells me that I am trying to add a duplicate attribute. All I am trying to do is add other files.

If you wouldn't mind, how did you solve the issue? I couldn't figure out a solution other than a zip file.

Re: Multiple downloadble files on one purchase?

A) From the product, I went to attribute features, clicked on attribute controller, then Option names.

B) From there I created options called "Part 1" "Part 2" etc, making each of them radio buttons.

C) Then I clicked on option values, selected them one by one from the drop down list and in the field marked "en:" I typed mp3, then I clicked on insert.

(This created the attributes. I know it's a long-winded way of doing it, but I think they can be re-used for other products - I'm not sure!)

D) Then I went back to the attribute controller for the product, scrolled down to the bottom of the section (where it says adding new attributes), then I selected in turn each option name and matching value (there may have been some redundancy in my efforts, but this is what I did), I typed in the file name where it said: "Downloadable products: Filename:" and then clicked on "insert". (NB I did the actions in this last paragraph D for each file of the product.

Please note, I have not yet done a test download, so I do not know if this will actually work. But at least it all now appears on the screen as if it is ready to go.

I hope this helps.
