Downloads

Christianbook.com now offers all of its downloads in DRM-free MP3 format. MP3 files are currently the most compatible format, perfect for most operating systems (Windows, Mac, Linux) and media players (Windows Media Player, iTunes, etc.).

MP3 files are not licensed, so there aren't any restrictions on the amount of times the file can be burned to a CD or transferred to a portable device or music player.

1. To login in to your account, click the My Account link at the top of any page and type in your email address and password.
2. In the My Downloads section of your account, click on Access Your Downloadable Purchases. You will be redirected to our Download Center.
3. The Active Purchases tab lists any downloads that you have purchased, but have not yet transferred to your computer. You will see the track names listed with a green arrow located to their right.
4. Click on the arrow to begin downloading.
5. Select a location to which your download will be saved.

Please Note: You are entitled to one download per track ordered. You have seven days to move active purchases to your computer before they expire.

If your downloads are showing that they were successful or are showing up in your Past Downloads, but you can't find them it could be that they were saved to your default 'Downloads' folder or another location that you've chosen to save files to in the past.

In any case, you should be able to find these files on your computer by searching for the files by name. In Windows, this can be performed by using the search option on the "Start" button menu, located at the bottom left of your screen. On a Mac, click on the magnifying glass at the top right of your screen to search for your files.

If after searching you still can't find your downloads, click here to email Customer Service about the issue.

If you're receiving an error message when you try to play or use your downloads, this could be because your computer doesn't know what to do with the file. This can be the case if the file was renamed when it was downloaded, or if your computer doesn't recognize the extension (file type).

To fix this, rename the file and add .mp3 to the end of its name, this should solve the problem.

To rename your file, right-click on the file and select "Rename" from the list that appears. Once you’ve selected to rename the file, its name should be highlighted. Just add .mp3 to the end of the name and hit the Enter key or click somewhere else on your screen to close editing.

This should solve your problem—if not, click here to email Customer Service about the issue.
