After I have bought the MP3 can I burn it to a CD or mobile device?
That is fine for personal use. We would prefer that you did not distribute either the PDF files or the sound tracks over the internet. We would rather that you would recommend our website to everyone.

There are different files to download for the same piece of music on the ordering page. It is confusing. Which one should I choose?
Look in the first column 'Instrument'and select your instrument. The MP3 file that you will receive has your instrumental part deleted, so the audio file sent to you is the combined mp3 track of all the other ensemble instruments. The PDF file in the zip folder is your notated instrumental part.
