Step 4: Confirmation

What you receive
About WAV files
WAV (Waveform Audio File) is an uncompressed audio format:- Lossless quality — No audio data is lost
- Studio-grade — The exact quality artists create
- Large files — Typically 30–50MB per track
Full discography offers
Some artists offer a discount when you buy their whole catalogue. Look for Buy full discography on the artist’s page — it shows the normal total, the discounted total and how much you save. Releases you already own are left out, so you only pay for what’s missing. Removing one release from the bundle in your cart returns the others to their normal price. You can still pay more than the discounted price if you’d like to support the artist.Accessing your purchases
Your Library
- Click your profile icon in the navigation
- Choose Library from your dashboard menu

Download your tracks
Open Dashboard → Library (or visit your Library page). Each confirmed purchase appears as a release, including releases bought through a full-discography offer or Gift Basket. Stream it: use the play button on any track, or Play Release on a release, to listen instantly through the site player — music keeps playing while you browse. Download it: use the download symbol, or Download All, to open the format picker (WAV, FLAC or MP3). Use the search box at the top to filter your library by release, artist or track.Choosing a format
After clicking the download symbol, choose your format in the picker. WAV is selected by default:- WAV (original) — the exact file the artist uploaded. Always available and the default.
- FLAC (lossless) — identical audio in a smaller file, keeping the original bit depth and sample rate.
- MP3 320 (compressed) — smallest files, for devices that don’t play lossless audio.

Listening and Crates
Tap the bottom player to open the full-screen Now Playing sheet. Scroll through available lyrics, credits, release information, artist bio and Up Next. Play a full release to listen in track order; the bottom player stays available as you browse. On desktop, when the bottom player is visible and you are not typing in a field, Space toggles playback, ←/→ seeks five seconds and M toggles mute. Mobile uses the on-screen controls.
