Whats the best template for previewing and purchasing, then downloading sound files?

I would like to put my special FX mp3 up for sale. And I could not find a site5 template that would enable this without doing a lot of conversion work.

Thanks.

Hello,

Virtuemart gives you the option to download files, but I'm not sure how you would preivew the mp3. I believe you can add content plugins into virtuemart descriptions and put our mp3 player plugin directly on the item description. Then you would setup a download procedure. Here is a tutorial on setting up downloadable images with Virtuemart, mp3's would be the same way:

Thanks much. Yeah, the who previewing thing with on-line mp3s intended for sale is a little tricky in that, # 1 - Just about anyone can rip a sound file that plays on a site, and #2 - I for one absolutely hate watermarks on demo sound files. But I realize this is a concern that goes beyond what any template could do.

Thanks again.
