• Downloads Enable: Turn downloads on or off.
  
  
• Formats to Sell: If you want to sell multiple formats, you must supply them for each product. For example "MP3" and "WAV"
• Download Max: Maximum number of times the customer can make the download.
  
  
• Download Expire: How long until the download expires in seconds (43200 is 3 days).
  
  
• Download Enable Status: The order status that is required before downloads are
  enabled 'C; is confirmed.
  
  
• Download Directory: The FULL PATH to the download files. Depending on your hosting, you may be
  able to put this out of the web directory. /path/to/your/site/images/A_MyMuseDownloads.
  
  If you are using S3 integration, the Amazon S3 bucket where your download files will be / are stored. The bucket must exist (MyMuse can't create it for you). The user identifed by the Access and Secret Key provided above must have at least read access to the bucket for downloads to work. IMPORTANT! Bucket names are case sensitive. Abc, abc and ABC are three <em>different</em> buckets as far as Amazon S3 is concerned!
  
  
• Download Directory Type: The default is "Artist-alias/Product-alias" ex: pink-floyd/dark-side-of-the-moon. The other option is "By format (ex. mp3 or wav)". with this option you would store your mp3's in the folder  download-directory/mp3 and your wav's in download-directory/wav. For example:
  /path/to/your/site/images/A_MyMuseDownloads/mp3/
  /path/to/your/site/images/A_MyMuseDownloads/wav/
  
  
• Use Zip for All Files: When creating an "All Files" type of track (selling all the files for one album/product), make a zip file on the fly. This saves the customer downloading each file separately.
  
  You must have the zip enabled in your PHP and have the memory available per process for all the files combined. memory_limit should be greater than all the files plus the regular php process. This can be quite big is selling wav files :)
  
  
• Preview Directory: The relative path to the preview directory.
  Default is 'images/A_MyMusePreviews'.
  
  If you are using S3 integration, the Amazon S3 bucket where your files will be / are stored. The bucket must exist (MyMuse can't create it for you). The user identifed by the Access and Secret Key provided above must have at least read access to the bucket for downloads to work. IMPORTANT! Bucket names are case sensitive. Abc, abc and ABC are three <em>different</em> buckets as far as Amazon S3 is concerned!
  
  
• Previews all in one directory: this does away with the "Artist-alias/Product-alias" and you can place all your previews in the Preview Directory.
• S3 Integration: MyMuse can optionally integrate with Amazon S3 to store your download files. You will need an Amazon S3 subscription. Enter bucket names in the Download and preview directories.
  
  
• S3 Website:  To show your previews from S3 storage, enter the endpoint. Ex: http://mymusetestpreviews.s3-website-us-west-2.amazonaws.com
• Access Key: Your Amazon S3 Access Key. You can create one or find your existing one at http://s3.amazonaws.com.
  
• Secret Key: Your Amazon S3 Secret Key. You can create one or find your existing one at http://s3.amazonaws.com.
  
• Default Permissions: Default permissions to apply to files which are uploaded to Amazon S3 Download Directory Bucket.
  
  
• Timeout for authenticated URLs: MyMuse creates what Amazon calls authenticated URLs for downloads of all items stored in S3 buckets. These URLs are designed to expire after a predefined amount of time. This option controls when these download URLs will expire. Keep this limit short. Increase only if you are hosting large files and you want your users to be able to use download managers, such as DownThemAll, which launch several connections over the duration of the entire download process. IMPORTANT! Make sure your server clock is synchronised with a time server in order for this feature to work as expected and allow downloads of files stored on Amazon S3.
  
  
• Encode Filenames: DEPRECATED. Rename file to an md5 hash (32 bit string of characters and numbers). This option will no longer be available. We found it confused admins and made tracking your files difficult.Saving the store will convert your filenames to their original names.
  
  
• Free Downloads From Page: If set to yes, then free products will have a download graphic and link to the Preview Directory.
  
  
• Play the download file Play the file from the Download Directory if it has been purchased by the user.
  You must remove the .htaccess file from the Download Directory for this to work.
  
  

Upload Options

• Maximum file size: Maximum file size that can be selected in the browser window.
• Chunk Size: Enables you to chunk the file into smaller parts. For example, if your PHP backend has a max post size of 1 MB, you can chunk a 10 MB file into 10 parts. Note: This MUST be a numerical value. Leave empty or zero to disable this feature.
