The easiest way to get music on your iDevice:

Order a playlist from our site. The instant the order is completed, you are presented a link to start the download. If you miss that, not a problem, you are instantly sent an email with the link to download, as well.

Once your file is downloaded, using your computer, you will see The Playlist-I-Just-Ordered-bpm.zip file in your Downloads folder (Note the Zip at the end). You will need to extract that file. Usually during the Extraction process (Right click, Extract All, etc.), the file is extracted to your Downloads folder, also, where your downloaded files are. Once the file is extracted.

Open iTunes, create a play list, called, in this case The Playlist-I-Just-Ordered-bpm. Make sure you can see iTunes and your Downloads folder at the same time. Then put your mouse over the The Playlist-I-Just-Ordered-bpm folder, not the Zip file. Left click, hold the button down, then drag that folder over to your newly created Playlist on iTunes, let go of the left button. All the songs should start populating your playlist.

Now that you have your new playlsit in your iTunes, it is time to get it on your iDevice:

Sync your content using Wi-Fi

  1. Connect your iOS device to your computer with a USB cable, then open iTunes and select your device.
  2. Click Summary on the left side of the iTunes window.
  3. Select “Sync with this [device] over WiFi.”
  4. Click Apply.

We have a FREE downloadable mix that you can practice how to download. The download is not meant to teach any classes, only to practice and learn how to download using your Cell, Tablet, or Computer. The link to that Practice Download is Here

Instructions for Downloading our Music files

ZIP files:

  • What they are: ZIP files are like compressed folders that act as containers for other files. They group multiple files together and reduce their overall size, making them faster to download and store.
  • Downloading ZIP files:
    1. Click the download link: When you encounter a ZIP file download link, your browser will typically ask if you want to open or save the file. Choose Save.
    2. Choose a location: Most browsers, like Chrome, Firefox, and Edge, provide a dialog box to select a download location. Pick a convenient spot, like your Downloads folder. The Downloads folder is the Default location on most devices when downloading.  Some browsers may have default download locations you can manage in their settings.
    3. Initiate the download: Click Save or Download to start downloading the ZIP file.
  • Extracting ZIP files:
    1. Locate the file: Once downloaded, find the ZIP file on your computer.
    2. Right-click (or control-click on Mac): A context menu will appear.
    3. Extract options: Look for options like “Extract”, “Extract All”, or “Unzip”. Some file managers might use slightly different terms.
    4. Choose an extraction method: Select the desired option. If prompted, choose where you want to extract the contents (often the same folder as the ZIP file).
    5. Extracted files: The ZIP file will be decompressed, creating a new folder containing all the files it held.

Additional notes:

  • Modern operating systems have built-in support for ZIP files, so you usually don’t need additional software.
  • If you encounter issues, some free compression tools can handle ZIP files.
  • Remember, the specific steps might vary slightly depending on your operating system and browser.
What choice of download should I purchase? Separate tracks or Non-Tracks

If you want to ability to change up the song order or mix and match songs from different playlists, then Separate tracks should be your choice. If you have an iDevice that you want to download your playlist to, then you should probably use the Non-Tracked version.

For iDevices – You will need to use your computer to download the music and then sync it to your iDevice, See the above tutorial on how to do that.

Android Devices – You can download directly to your device. Just point your music player at your new playlist.

If you want to download directly to your iDevice, then we recommend the Non-Tracked version of our playlists. Once downloaded onto your device, simply click on the The Playlist-I-Just-Ordered-bpm.zip using File, it will extract the Zip file, now you will see the file The Playlist-I-Just-Ordered-bpm. All you have to do now, is click that file, choose what player you want to use. That’s it.

Adding Music to iTunes (Using Finder on macOS Catalina or later)

iTunes is no longer used for music management on macOS Catalina or later. Instead, you’ll use the Finder app to add music to your Apple Music library. Here’s how:

1. Locate your music files:

  • Music files can be in various formats like MP3, AAC, WAV, etc.
  • They can be stored on your computer, external drives, or cloud storage.

2. Import music to Apple Music:

  • Open the Finder app.
  • Navigate to the folder containing your music files.
  • Select the music files you want to add (use Command + click for multiple files).
  • Drag and drop the selected files onto the Music Library sidebar in the Finder window.

3. Alternatively, use the “File” menu:

  • In the Finder menu bar, click “File” > “Import Items” > “Choose Files”.
  • Select the music files you want to add in the file selection window.
  • Click “Open”.

4. Music files are added and organized:

  • The selected music files will be imported into your Apple Music library.
  • Music information like artist, album, and genre will be automatically fetched from the internet (if available).
  • Files will be organized within their respective artist and album sections in the library.

Additional notes:

  • You can also import entire folders containing music by dragging and dropping the folder itself.
  • If you want to import music from a CD, insert the CD and use the “Import CD” option in the Finder menu bar.
  • Music files remain in their original location on your computer. Apple Music creates references to them in the library.
  • To manage music files directly in Apple Music, click the “Music” tab and use the library features for organization and playback.

For older macOS versions or Windows, you can still use iTunes:

  • The process is similar, involving dragging and dropping music files or folders into the iTunes library window.
  • You can also use the “File” > “Add File to Library” or “Add Folder to Library” options in iTunes.

Remember, iTunes is no longer supported for new macOS versions, so using Finder is the recommended approach for managing your music library on recent macOS systems.

Crafting Your Dream Mix: A Collaborative Approach

While we don’t currently offer full-blown “custom” mixes where we build a playlist from scratch just for you, we do have an exciting collaborative option!

Here’s how it works:

  1. Get creative! We invite you to send us a list of at least 20, ideally 25 song titles that spark your musical vision. Think of it as your dream playlist blueprint.
  2. Enter the DJ realm: Our talented DJs will take your list and assess its mixability. If they deem it a sonic match, they’ll be thrilled to weave your selections into a one-of-a-kind playlist mix.
  3. Patience is key: Remember, our DJs are also busy crafting new mixes for everyone to enjoy, so your personalized mix might take some time to take shape. It’ll be worth the wait, though!
  4. Grand Release: Once complete, we’ll release your mix not just to you, but to our entire customer base! Consider it a chance to share your musical taste and inspire others.
  5. No pressure, pure pleasure: You’re under absolutely no obligation to purchase the mix after its release. You can simply enjoy it as a bonus perk for sharing your musical inspiration.
  6. Musical flexibility: Please keep in mind that not all songs on your list may fit seamlessly into the mix, or they might be unavailable for licensing reasons. In such cases, our DJs reserve the right to choose substitutes that complement the overall vibe and ensure a smooth listening experience.

We believe this collaborative approach allows you to contribute to the exciting world of DJ mixes and discover amazing new music along the way. So, feel free to unleash your inner music curator and send us your dream playlist! We can’t wait to see what you come up with.

Bonus tip: To help our DJs understand your vision better, you can add brief notes alongside your song titles, mentioning specific moods, genres, or memories you associate with each choice. This extra touch can truly personalize your mix!

We hope this clarifies our custom mix approach and sparks your musical creativity!
