Q: How do I access the music/MP3/files that I've purchased from The Websters Online Store?
A: If you've purchased a digital download from our store (a single MP3 track, or a full CD), you will need to login to our site via the Login Page.
If you are already logged in you will see an option on your User Page that says file downloads. Click on that link to access your tracks or files that you've purchased from The Websters Store.
If you purchased your tracks without first creating an account, an account was created based on the email address you entered at checkout. If your order payment was completed successfully at PayPal, the order completion page will have supplied your with your username and your temporary password.
Also, you should have been emailed your username and password to the email address specified with your order. Use that information on the My Account Page to login and access your file downloads page.
Full CD digital downloads will be delivered to you as a ZIP file (a compressed file) of all of the tracks on the CD that you purchased. You will need to unzip the file and import the included files into your digital music player software (iTunes, Windows Media Player, Rhythmbox, Banshee, etc).
If you have purchased your tracks via iTunes, AmazonMP3, or another online store, please visit those stores for more help.
Q: What is the quality and format of the digital music tracks available on The Websters Online Store?
A: All digital music tracks available on The Websters Online Store are in high-quality MP3 format. Here are the technical specs of the tracks:

The tracks are encoded in standard stereo at 192Kbps bit rate at 44.1KHz sampling rate from the original compact disc. All tracks include the original, high-quality, album cover art that is included in the physical CD.
When purchasing a full CD digital download you will receive all of the tracks encoded as specified above in a compressed ZIP file.
Q: Why don't you offer digital downloads in any other format on The Websters Online Store?
A: Hey, we're musicians - we love FREE (as in beer) stuff too, but we sometimes have to make compromises.
We know that there are other, non-patent-encumbered digital compression formats available, however we chose the MP3 format because is the most widely accepted digital music format in use today. It is usable on almost all digital music players available, and can be used on almost any computer operating system.
If there is strong demand for other digital music formats (e.g. OGG, FLAC), we will definitely consider offering alternative formats as download options in the future. Please head over to our Contact Page and submit a request for additional formats if you want those.
