Using the Download Manager
When a release has Full DRM enabled by the label, recipients can both play and download tracks. The download control will be available for the release to either download in WAV or MP3.
Accessing the Download Queue
To access the the Download Queue, click the Download button at the top right of the interface to view the tracks or releases queued for download. A popup panel will display the Artist and Title of each item. Clicking the download icon again will close the popup.
The most recent track or release you indicated for download will appear at the top of the queue. Once you start downloading a release, each release will have a status next to it. It will first say zipping, or waiting when you download individual tracks. After that, each release will have a status icon next to it:
- A checkmark indicates a completed download.
- An animated progress circle shows that the download is still pending.
If you download an entire release, the download item in the queue will display the number of tracks in brackets.
Managing Downloads
- Canceling Downloads: An X button beside each track allows you to cancel the download for that specific item.
Clearing Completed Downloads: Click Clear Completed to remove all completed downloads from the panel, helping to declutter your view.
If you want to see more tracks in the queue, you can use the vertical slider to scroll down the list.
If there are no downloads in progress (and you haven’t downloaded anything in this session), the interface will display a message indicating that no downloads are available.
Download Settings
- Clicking the settings icon in the Download Manager will switch the panel to display download-specific settings.
- Here, you can choose your preferred download format by clicking the dropdown menu and selecting your desired option.
