MP3 downloads
You will need an audio player software to listen to your mp3 download. If you do not have this on your computer, phone or tablet, here are some popular free softwares to download, instructions on those websites.
iTunes
Windows Media Player

PDF
You will need a PDF viewing software to view PDFs (e.g. Adobe Acrobat). Some popular programs are:
Download Adobe Reader

ZIP Folders
Some of our products are within zip folders. This was done to reduce the file size. You will need to unzip the folder to access the files, and before you can play or view your purchase. Most devices have a built-in unzipping program, but here are some programs:
Winzip
iZip

When you download your mp3 or pdf file on your computer, there is a designated folder on your computer that your browser will store these files inside (your browser is the program you use to view files on the internet, e.g. Firefox, Chrome, Internet Explorer, Safari are all browser). So you simply have to find this folder.

On a computer, once you download the file, you should just be able to double click the file to open it, and your default audio player will open and play the file for you.

For ipods, tablets and iphones, download the file, then open the files within your audio players. If you have trouble because these devices are new to you, we suggest getting help from The Apple Store, or other outlet to show you how to play audio files on your device.

We have discovered that some customers have trouble downloading audio files on iPads and iPhones. What seems to happen is they click the link, and instead of downloading the file, the iPad wants to play the mp3 file. We have done extensive research for a solution, the only solution we have discovered, is that the files need to be downloaded to a computer, and then transferred to an iPad or iPhone. We apologise for this inconvenience.

If you need help with figuring out how to transfer our mp3 files from your computer to your iPad or iPhone, here are some helpful instructions we found online. Alternatively, the Apple Store is wonderful at teaching people these kinds of things and we highly recommend contacting them to walk you through this.

The process to add the mp3 to your iPhone or iPad:

1. On your computer, open iTunes. There is a little icon top left corner of the screen (see attached screen shot picture). Click that to open a dropdown and choose “Add to Library”
2. Find the mp3 file you saved to your computer in the pop up screen that appears, and click “open”. This will add the file to iTunes.
3. Next, connect your iPad or iPhone to your computer with the USB cable. Now you are going to “Sync” the iPhone/iPad to your computer within iTunes.
4. You should see a little icon of your phone or ipad at the top left (beside the music notes, film strip, and monitor icons). Click that little icon.
5. A menu will appear on the left and list of things under the heading “Settings will appear”. Click on Music.
6. After clicking this, on the right you should see a checkbox beside the words Sync Music. Click the checkbox and choose if you want all the music or I believe it gives you a choice to choose specific songs.
7. The click the “Sync” button, lower right of the screen. And I believe that should transfer it to your iphone or ipad (you have to do the same process for each).

Note: MP3 and E-book downloads are large files. You are downloading a high quality full album (MP3) or a whole book PDF file (Ebook). MP3 titles are ~50 MB files, and Ebooks are < 1 MB. Dialup internet connections can work, but will take time to download and run the risk of the server timing out the download on your end or our end. We will assist you if you have questions about this.
