THE GREEDY HAND STORE FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
DOWNLOAD QUESTIONS:
HOW DO I DOWNLOAD AND PLAY MY MUSIC?
1. Click The Download Link
Once your order has been completed, you will be sent to the order confirmation page. Below your Order Confirmation number, you will see a Downloads section, and a link to "Click to Download"
You will also receive an Order Confirmation E-mail with your download link, which will have the link where it says "Your digital download is available"
Clicking this link will download the Zip folder onto your computer. This may take a few minutes to finish (or longer for a Video or HD file).
2. Unzip
Once the download has completed, located the folder on your computer (Most likely this will automatically go into your Downloads folder if you don't choose a different destination).
Note: this is a Zip file that will need to be unzipped. If you don't have the software for this, you can download WINZIP or 7-ZIP for Windows, or THE UNARCHIVER for Mac.
On a PC: You can right-click on the Zip folder, choose extract all. Or open in your Unzip utility.
3. Play

If you purcahsed a HD or Flac download, iTunes and Windows Media Player do not support this format. We reccomend VLC Player, which supports all music and video file formats. You can DOWNLOAD VLC FOR FREE HERE.
