    im looking to sell mp3's online 4 my band. like have a few samples and an option to buy where the cash goes straight to my credit card/paypal. i checked the likes of maganatunes which is a rip off as they take too large of a percentage off you so i think i'll go fopr option 1. i found out about secure php programs such as from link for about 50 dollars which offers an integrated mp3 selling program linked to paypal but it looks very complicated to me to install etc....could anyone ched some light on this as im just not sure how hard/easy is should be. im studying web design about 6months now but none of my teachers have a clue what im talking about.........

    if you are talking about very low volume then paypal is your best bet... most other systems require setup fees of $200+

    thanks.
    the thing is im only starting to study web design so lets say i go to the paypal site...then what? i download a program for a fee but how do i integrate this program into my website?..is it a copy and paste job or do have to know a lot more about php and how much of the technical stuff would my hosting company take care of?.

    If it was me I would just host the mp3s on my own site, put them in passworded zip files, change the password every week or so.

    I bought a book online and could have just bought the pdf for less. the authour gave me the code for the passworded pdf file too, he changes it every month.

    Or you could just email them the mp3s or a link to a hosting site like yousend it when they do pay you. if traffic increases then go to one of those other paysites.
