Frequently Asked Questions About Music

If I shop for music online, will I be shipped a CD or do I have to download my purchase?

This depends on the type of music store you purchase from online. Most will just ship you the CD or Tape, while others may offer you the ability to download a song. Just read the website to see how the purchase will be delivered.

Are online music clubs the best deal for music online?

The music clubs online will offer you a low price and/or some free records if you agree to join the club and buy a certain number of CDs at regular prices. What they don’t tell you is that they have a high shipping and handling charge, and that you will be automatically sent a new CD once a month that you must return if you don’t want it, or you are billed for it. These offers are often more trouble and expense than they are worth.

Can’t I just download the music I want for free?

While the practice of downloading free music has been popular in the past, the music industry is now fighting against this practice and is threatening to sue anyone who copies music illegally online. It is safer and less risky to just purchase the music you want online.

What should I do if I ordered music online but I never receive the order?

If you order music online but you do not receive it in a timely manner, you should contact the customer support department of the website where you made the purchase. If they are not willing or able to resolve your problem, you should contact your credit card company and have the charge reversed.

What if I purchased music online but what I got is no good?

When you have purchased music online, but the quality is poor or it has other problems, you should contact the website where you made the purchase and ask for a replacement or refund. If they do not make you happy, you can tell them that you will have your credit card company reverse the charge if they do not comply with your reasonable request.

How can I protect myself from problems when I order music online?
