Digital Download Bundling

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hello everyone,
I am using the software to provide a legal digital music download service.
I focus on folk / acoustic music which is very album based - so we sell albums with the individual tracks zipped into a single file.
With the store supporting product bundling (in v3) and multiple purchases of a products in a category using vertical list view (in v2.76) the opportunity exists to sell individual tracks.
The customer though will not want multiple emails or to have to download the tracks individually.  Of course I could list both the tracks and an album product but this means duplicating the file storage.
An elegant option for the future would be where the product is downloadable and it is set as part of a bundle (or some similar 'zip up' tag) that the software in the background zips the song files into a single file per bundle/album and presented as a single email.
This is done in some of the dedicated digital download stores at the high end and would be a most powerful addition.
cheers
Mark
