Downloads

  • Please do not contact Port Merchandise with personal computer issues, as we won’t be able to help you. You should have a basic understanding of ZIP files and be able to import music into your own music player or software such as iTunes. If you’re unfamiliar with these things, don’t worry – it’s quite easy! Below are some useful tips for helping with downloads:
  • Please allow ample time for downloads to complete. Leave the browser window open and allow even more time for lossless files, such as FLAC or WAV.
  • The file that you download will be a .ZIP file. If you need help working with the .ZIP, please see this useful guide. If you’re using a Mac, just double-click the file.
  • Once you’ve extracted the music files, they will be in either the default download location on your computer, or in a file you previously specified. Most likely it will be in the “My Downloads” or “My Music” folder in Windows. We can’t help you find them, as the default download location for every PC can be different.
  • To add music to iTunes, just launch iTunes and choose File > Add To Library. To add music to Windows Media Player, you can either: a) select the audio files, then right click them and choose “Add to Windows Media Player List”, or b) drag and drop the audio files onto the Windows Media Player window (if that doesn’t work, try the drag/drop operation again, but make sure the Library tab is active in Windows Media Player first).
