- Downloading Issues & Solutions

ISSUES THAT AFFECT DOWNLOADING:

  1. Do not download from a work, school or government department computer unless you have access to the system administrator to lower the firewall.  In almost all instances, downloading from these locations will fail. 

    Solution - forward the link to, and download from your home computer.

  2. Firewall and Internet Security Suite programs such as Norton, McAfee,CA, Vet, Trend Micro, Windows Firewall etc have aggressive settings that block access to our server. 

    Solution - If first attempt to download fails, turn off/disable the firewall program and try again.

  3. Outdated web browsers.  Always ensure your version of Internet Explorer, Fire fox, Safari or Opera web browsers are the latest version.  Older versions may cause issues with downloading from a secure site. 

    Solution - To update your web browser, open the web browser and click on 'HELP' then 'check for updates'

General FAQ's

- Item Code numbers

Item Code numbers identify the song programmer. While mainly used for office administration, a customer can identify programmers whose works they may prefer in cases where there are multiple choices of a particular song title.

- On-Line demo's

The on-line Demo's allow a customer to play a 30 second section of the song.  As the demo files are actual MIDI Files, they will only sound as good as your computer sound card. Variances in quality can be dramatic.. Rest assured the MIDI Files will sound fine on your MIDI File player or Keyboard workstation and your MP3 files will be fully produced. Demo's are unavailable for downloading and saving to your computer.

If the on-line demo's will not play on your computer, try one of the following fixes.

  1. Update Windows Media Player to the latest version: Click Here. When downloaded, open WMP and go: Tools>Options>File Types and enable Midi File (.mid), then OK. You can also check your existing WMP settings before downloading the latest version

  2. If you have Windows 98 first edition or Windows 95, the on-line demo's might not play. Support is not provided for these operating systems

  3. Check if you have other Media programs which may be interfering with the default MIDI setting, like Winamp, Real Player etc. If you don't normally use these programs, try uninstalling them then updating Windows Media Player then making the suggested settings. Don't forget to backup any data you may have that relate exclusively to any program you are going to uninstall.
