## Account & profile

### How do I create an account?

Click the **User Icon** in the navigation, enter your display name, email and password. By default, **Listener** is selected as your role.

Yes! From your account dashboard you can request to change from a Listener profile to an Artist profile. Please note you cannot change from Artist to Listener.

### How do I change my display name or avatar?

Go to **Profile Settings** from your account menu. You can update your display name and upload a new avatar image.

### Can I delete my account?

Yes. Go to **Profile Settings** and scroll to the **Danger Zone** section. You'll be guided through a leaving flow:

1. **Select a reason** for leaving (required)
2. Depending on your reason, we may offer to address your concerns before you leave — for example, pointing you to our documentation, or sending your feature requests directly to our development team.

## Browsing & discovery

### How do I find music?

* **Discover page** — Browse featured and new releases
* **Search** — Find specific tracks, artists, or genres
* **Genre browser** — Filter by music genre
* **Artist profiles** — Explore an artist's full catalog

### What does "Following" an artist do?

Following an artist adds them to your followed artists list, making it easy to check back for their latest releases.

### How do I save releases for later?

Click the **Heart** icon on any release to add it to your **Favorites**. Access your saved releases from the Favorites page.

***

## Purchasing

### What payment methods are accepted?

All major credit and debit cards through our secure Stripe payment processor.

### Is my payment information secure?

Yes. All payments are processed through Stripe, a PCI-compliant payment processor. We never store your card details.

### Can I buy multiple releases at once?

Yes! Add as many releases as you want to your cart and check out in a single transaction.

### What currency are prices in?

All prices are displayed in **USD (US Dollars)**.

***

## Downloads

### What format are the downloads?

All downloads are in **WAV format** — uncompressed, high-quality audio files (16-bit or 24-bit).

### How do I download my purchased music?

1. Go to **Downloads** from your user dashboard
2. Find your purchased release
3. Click the **Download** button next to each track

### Can I re-download my purchases?

Yes. There's no limit.

### Can I download on mobile?

Yes, but we recommend desktop/laptop for the best experience with large WAV files.

***

## Audio & playback

### Can I preview tracks before buying?

Yes! Click the **Play** button on any release to preview the audio before purchasing. Guests get 1 free full listen per track; logged-in listeners get 3 free listens before purchase.

### Why WAV instead of MP3?

WAV files are uncompressed and lossless, meaning you get the exact audio quality the artist intended. MP3 files use compression that reduces quality.

***

## Refunds & issues

### Can I get a refund?

All sales are final due to the digital nature of downloads. Please use the preview feature to listen before purchasing.

### I accidentally purchased the same release. What can I do?

The platform automatically prevents duplicate purchases — if you already own a release, it will show as "Owned" and cannot be added to your cart again. If you experienced a duplicate charge from before this protection was in place, contact support immediately.

### I started checkout but didn't complete the payment. Am I blocked from buying?

No. The pending checkout automatically expires after 30 minutes, after which you can start a fresh checkout for the same release.

### The audio file seems corrupted. What should I do?

Try re-downloading the file. If the issue persists, contact support with details about the release and the problem.

## Privacy & security

### What data do you collect?

See our [Privacy Policy](https://wavjunkie.com/privacy-policy) for full details. We collect only what's necessary to provide our service.

No. Your purchase history is private and only visible to you.

### Can artists see who purchased their music?

Artists can see purchase analytics (number of sales, earnings) but cannot see individual buyer identities.
