I would really appreciate it if you could help me solve this. I am extremely impressed in the help I have received from the information provided on how to do particular things on the site itself under help. However I don't know if I am not reading it correctly but I can't find how to upload mp3 or Wav files for me to be able to sell my work. I am a composer and creater of Cd's and digital music. I would like to upload the mp3 files and hide them until they have been purchased and then able to make them downloadable for the person who has bought them. Thank you. Valerie Kerr

Valerie, you need to first create your product and setup your shopping cart, in step 4>advance setting, shopping cart.
then if you dont want to upload your file seperatly, add a html object in one of your pages, set the height to 1, click onthe advance tab and add your file over there (you can choose a path for them as well), then when you upload your website, those files will be uploaded as well.
remember, since private pages will not work with the shopping cart, in another word you can not have registered user for your shopping cart, so your link is not protected, once you redirect them after purchase to a page that they can download your music, anyone who has the address to that page is able to go and download it.
as a suggestion you have 2 options, 1. send the product by email, 2. compress them as rar file and set a password for them, then send them the password by email.
you change the passwork weekly. digital goods are hard to protect specialy with websitex5 program.
