    MyCustom CD Builder Help

     

    Overview

    Create your own custom CDs using any combination of songs you save in MyFavorites. If you do not already have a SongPeddler account, you will be prompted to create an account (email address and a password) the first time you try to save a song to MyFavorites. You will be prompted to login to this account whenever you try to add more songs or CDs to MyFavorites or you attempt to use the MyCustomCD Builder.

    In building a custom CD, you can choose any songs from MyFavorites to include on the CD. Multiple copies of a particular custom CD can be ordered; also, you can create and save custom CD mixes with any combination of songs (up to 72 minutes of music) and order custom Mix CDs at any time. (A Mix is a collection of songs that is chosen by you in your unique order). Each time you visit SongPeddler, you can add new songs to MyFavorites for this purpose.
    Using The System
    Setup Your Account
      Begin by setting up an account with your email and a password. Use the same account for accessing MyFavorites and the MyCustom CD Compilation Builder. If you have already bought CDs from SongPeddler in the past, you will already have an account and you'll want to login with that account for making a Custom CD and saving songs to MyFavorites.
    MyCD Title
      Create your own title here. The personal message and Included songs (from the song list of MyFavorites displayed in the lower section of the page) will be linked to the title. Once saved, the title will have a product number appended at the end, and will appear in the MyCDs list.
    MyCDs
      This lists each custom CD title you have saved, including any personal message and the chosen songs in the exact order specified. When you select a title from MyCDs, the screen will automatically refresh with all information for the selected title.
    Personal Message
      Use this area to deliver a message to the recipient of the custom CD. Your message will be printed inside the Cover Insert. This can also be used to give yourself notes about the particular mix of songs and why you chose them.
    Total Running Time
      As you select song titles to include in your Custom CD, the length of each included song will automatically be added to the total. Note: 72 minutes is the maximum length allowed per CD disc. If your CD time exceeds this, you will be prompted to remove songs until the time falls below 72 minutes. (Uncheck Included songs to remove them).
    Total Price
      As you select songs to include in your Custom CD, the price of each included song will automatically be added to the Total Price. If any songs are removed, their value will automatically be deducted from the Total Price. Please note that all custom CDs include a base price of $7 (for materials and manufacturing) in addition to the per-song price. This base price is added to the Total Price when you select the first song for your custom CD.
    MyFavorites List for [your name]
      Your complete MyFavorites list of songs will initially appear here. Click on the Include boxes to add songs to your current custom CD title. You can listen to the songs, and you can also retype the track numbers to change the order. (Note: You must click on the Update & Save CD button at least once to change the track sequence)
    Update & Save CD
      When finished making your initial song selections, click on Update & Save CD button to create the CD and enter the edit mode for changing song order, song title etc. The listing will now show only songs included in this particular CD title. The jukebox entitled "All Songs on Current CD” will be available to click on to sample all songs in the order you have saved them. Click on the “Get MyFavorites” link found to the right of the CD List Title Bar if you wish to add more songs to your CD. Your entire MyFavorites list will be posted below the songs already included on your CD. After making changes, click on Update & Save CD to save your changes again. You make as many changes to any of these until you click on the Finalize CD button.
    Finalize and Purchase Your Custom CD
      You must Finalize the CD before you can buy it! Be sure you're completely done making the song selections, changing the song order, and adding your Personal Message before you click the Finalize CD button. No changes will be allowed for that particular CD after you click on the Finalize CD button.

    Once you've Finalized the CD, you can buy it right away or at a later date. To buy your Custom CD, click on Add to Cart . You may continue shopping, or proceed immediately to finalize your order. Click on Checkout to complete the purchase transaction.
    Share Your Play list or Finalized CD with a Friend
      At any time, you can Email to a Friend the Custom CD you're creating. If you Email to a Friend before you Finalize the CD, the recipient will have the opportunity to sample your play list. After you have Finalized the CD, the friend can also purchase it as well.
    Start New CD
      When you are ready to create a brand new custom CD, click, on the"Clear All/Start New" button (or select in the MyCDs pop-down menu) and it will clear out all fields to allow you to begin again by selecting from your MyFavorites list below.
