When a fan buys your music, all you have to do is read the notification message. The 1-2-3 Music Store handles the sales process and sends a personalized download e-mail to the customer automatically when payment is made. The e-mail contains a download link where the customer can download the new music.

Song management
For each song, in addition to simple properties like "name" and "title", you can include playing time, price in multiple currencies and whether or not the song is available for sale individually.

Album management
Put songs together into albums, just like in the real world...
The album is the central "product" in the 1-2-3 music store. Albums can contain as many songs as you want - you can release an album like an e.p. with 4 songs or go for a double album with 25 songs - it's up to you. Whatever your music needs.
4.
Pre-listening
You can create short excerpts of your music for people to listen to before they buy. All the mechanisms are in place - all you have to do is edit the song itself. You can offer a short extract from a song or an entire song in reduced sound quality - it's your choice.

Artwork
For each album, you can attach artwork - an image that fits the music. This is sold along with the album. This is usually a CD cover (which customers can then print out themselves) but you could make posters or flyers, too.
