I developed a website for my Life Partner who is a reggae artist and we are promoting his music. I need to know how to add his music to the site so that we can sell CD's and also have the music available for downloading. I also need to know how to handle funds coming in from sales ... such as paypal or what ever would be best.

Sounds like you need a 'shopping cart' system. There are LOADS around (though I've never used any myself). Might be worth having a look on www.download.com - you can probably get some free or on a 'try before you buy' basis.

D-A-L may even know of a good system that he would recommend - I expect he'll be on here over the weekend.

Yeh I can help you out here, can you post exactly what you need...what format are the tracks currently in...mp3?

To put any music on the website I suggest you MP3 format - if you have all music in .wav format (approx. 10x bigger in size than MP3) just "make" them MP3 using some applications around the web - the one I personaly use is Audiograbber. Now when you have them as .mp3 files the only thing you do is to put in your website's sourcecode link to file. Let's say that you have file mysong01.mp3 in your main website's folder. So now the link should look like this <a href="mysong01.mp3">DOWNLOAD MYSONG01 OR WRITE WHATEVER YOU WANT</a> As a result people will see "DOWNLOAD MYSONG01 OR WRITE WHATEVER YOU WANT" and when they click on this link it will automaticly play/download the song. Now about paying for that. So - there are two ways of doing it - you can make (as person before me mentioned) kind of a store - there is a lot of software to make the on-line store in very simple way. Second thing is you can make just some restricted areas of the website and in order to get there you need to get a username and password which you get after paying. Lets say that each CD will be in different folder and by paying $10.00 you will get access to one of them - that sound pretty reasonable. There are many ways to do that - you can sell each song separatelly or all albums - sky is the limit and you decide whatever you want to do.
