Digital Downloads

  1. What is a digital download?
    • A digital download is a music or video file that is sold over the internet and delivered directly to the customer's computer. All digital downloads sold on BlueRodeo.com are either MP3 or FLAC encoded and are Digital Rights Management (DRM)-free. This allows customers to use their digital downloads on multiple devices and without restriction.
  2. How and when will I get my digital download?
    • You will receive two emails after you have purchased a digital download from BlueRodeo.com. The first will be your order confirmation email. The second will include a link to your digital download. Once you click the link to your digital download, further instructions will appear on your screen. Be sure to add store@BlueRodeo.com to your email program’s address book so there is no delay in the delivery of the email containing your digital download link.
  3. I clicked the link but can't find my digital download?

    • If you are a Mac user check your desktop while Windows users should check their My Music folder located in their Documents. Unless a location has been specified for downloads, these are the default download locations. If your digital download isn't in the default location and you are sure that you downloaded your purchase, use your computer's search function to see if the file has saved somewhere on your computer. Use "BlueRodeo" as your initial search term and if necessary, narrow the search by using the item's name.

      If the search function doesn't turn anything up, try clicking on the link again. All of our digital downloads give you the chance to download them three times so if you've only clicked on the link once, you've got two more chances to download your item.

      If you've tried downloading your purchase three times and it still doesn't seem to be saving to your computer, please forward your digital download email to store@BlueRodeo.com and mention what type of computer you are trying to save to as well as any other details (for example, error messages) that you think we should know. Someone will get back to you within 24-72 business hours.

  4. Will my digital download work in iTunes?
    • Yes, it will. MP3 files will work immediately, but FLAC files will need to be converted to work in iTunes.
  5. Will this digital download work on my iPod?
    • Yes, it will.
  6. What is the difference between the downloadable formats?
    • MP3s are the most standard form for audio files. The size of the file dictates the quality. A 128-kbps file will be smaller in size, but some of the quality will be lost due to compression of the file. A 256-kbps file will be larger as well as better quality than a 128-kbps file. FLAC is a lossless format, meaning it will sound as good as any CD. FLAC files do require a plug-in for them to play on your computer.

If you ordered multiple items, and the availability of these items differ, BlueRodeo.com will make an effort to ship items separately, as they become available.

      IMPORTANT NOTE: If an item becomes UNAVAILABLE by the supplier, we will contact you by email.

For customers using web-based email accounts (Hotmail, Yahoo!, Gmail, etc.) we ask that you please check your junk mail (spam) folder after receiving your order confirmation email, as it is possible that the email containing your digital download link may be misdirected there.
  3. How and when will I get my digital download?
    • You will receive two emails after you have purchased a digital download from BlueRodeo.com. The first will be your order confirmation email. The second will include a link to your digital download. Once you click the link to your digital download, further instructions will appear on your screen. Be sure to add store@BlueRodeo.com to your email program’s address book so there is no delay in the delivery of the email containing your digital download link.
  4. I clicked the link but can't find my digital download?

    • If you are a Mac user check your desktop while Windows users should check their My Music folder located in their Documents. Unless a location has been specified for downloads, these are the default download locations. If your digital download isn't in the default location and you are sure that you downloaded your purchase, use your computer's search function to see if the file has saved somewhere on your computer. Use "BlueRodeo" as your initial search term and if necessary, narrow the search by using the item's name.

      If the search function doesn't turn anything up, try clicking on the link again. All of our digital downloads give you the chance to download them three times so if you've only clicked on the link once, you've got two more chances to download your item.

      If you've tried downloading your purchase three times and it still doesn't seem to be saving to your computer, please forward your digital download email to store@BlueRodeo.com and mention what type of computer you are trying to save to as well as any other details (for example, error messages) that you think we should know. Someone will get back to you within 24-72 business hours.

  5. Will my digital download work in iTunes?
    • Yes, it will. MP3 files will work immediately, but FLAC files will need to be converted to work in iTunes. You can find an easy-to-use FLAC converter here.
  6. Will this digital download work on my iPod?
    • Yes, it will.
  7. What is the difference between the downloadable formats?
    • MP3s are the most standard form for audio files. The size of the file dictates the quality. A 128-kbps file will be smaller in size, but some of the quality will be lost due to compression of the file. A 256-kbps file will be larger as well as better quality than a 128-kbps file. FLAC is a lossless format, meaning it will sound as good as any CD. FLAC files do require a plug in for them to play on your computer.
  8. What and how many devices can I use my digital download on?
    • The digital download that you have purchases is free of Digital Rights Management restrictions. Once downloaded, you may play it on as many devices as you have. You are also allowed to download you purchase three times, so if you'd like to have the digital download on other computers simply visit the exact same link you did the first time to download your file again.
  9. What is FLAC?

    • FLAC files are a premium audio file format. Unlike MP3 files that are compressed and may not sound quite as good as the original source recording to a critical ear, FLAC is a "lossless" compression which means that the source audio file is compressed without sacrificing any of the audio information contained in the master recording. An extracted FLAC file sounds identical to the original source (44.1 kHz, 16-bit stereo).

      The high fidelity FLAC files are much larger files and will take longer to download. FLAC files may be burned directly to CD on a PC running Nero CD Burning software with the FLAC plug-in, while Mac OS X users must extract FLAC to AIFF files to burn CDs or listen to the files. You may listen to FLAC files with a special plug-in for Winamp on PC. Be sure to check compatibility with your favorite software or portable player prior to purchasing FLAC files. New to downloading? We recommend you start with the MP3 format.

      FLAC downloads are more expensive because they cost more to deliver to you. An album compressed in FLAC is typically five or more times the size of an album in MP3, and therefore costs substantially more to deliver over the Internet.

      Please note that there is currently no FLAC software for any Mac OS prior to OS X.

  10. I didn't get the email with my digital download link. What do I do?
    • If you do not receive the email with your digital download link, please check your junk mail folder. If it is not there, please email us at store@BlueRodeo.com and we will help you.
  11. I downloaded my purchase and it doesn't work. What do I do?
    • If you have downloaded your file and it is not working or the quality of your file is not what you expected, please email us at store@BlueRodeo.com and we will help you.

Troubleshooting

  1. I have already placed my order, but I want to make changes. Is that possible?

    • If you wish to make changes to an order before it has shipped, please contact us using one of the methods outlined in the Contact Us section. Since we process orders soon after they are placed in order to ship them to you as fast as possible, there is a very short window in which the orders can be modified.

      Please note that requested order changes will be made at the discretion BlueRodeo.com. During certain periods we may not be able to make any changes in time due to the volume and nature of orders. Please ensure accuracy and completeness of your order before submitting the order in the check out process.

  2. Why do I see multiple charges on my credit card?
    • When you make any purchase online, a pre-authorization check is done with your credit card company to ensure that your card is valid and has sufficient funds to complete the transaction. This pre-authorization puts a hold on the funds required for the order you are placing. Once BlueRodeo.com processes your order, your card is charged one time only. If you experience difficulties ordering, and make several attempts to place your order, on occasion it is possible for a credit card company to pre-authorize your card multiple times, putting multiple holds on your card. These holds are temporary and should be released by your credit card company within two-three business days. If the hold has not been removed within 48-72 hours, please contact us at store@BlueRodeo.com and we will assist you as best we can to speed up the process with your credit card company.
  3. I didn't receive my order. What happened to it? What do I do?

    • A shipment may have been returned to us as undelivered due to:

      Incorrect Address
      If the address that is provided during the order process is incorrect or outdated, the shipment is typically returned to us by the carrier or unintended recipient. If the package is returned to us we will contact you to refund the amount of the product excluding the shipping charges or reship your order.

      Failed Delivery Attempt
      Most carriers make up to three attempts to deliver a package. If the driver feels it is unsafe to leave a package they will take it to a local post office or carrier's outlet for pickup and leave a delivery notice. You must act upon this notice before the package is declared undeliverable (timeframe varies from carrier to carrier and is outlined on the delivery notice).

      Refusal by Recipient
      If a recipient is not expecting a shipment, they may refuse the package if they believe it was sent to them in error. In the event that you are sending a package to a recipient other than yourself, let the recipient know that a shipment is due.

      When we receive a returned package that is marked as undeliverable, we issue a full refund (excluding the shipping charges). We are unable to reship orders that are returned to us as undeliverable. If you would like to purchase items that were undeliverable, you will need to place a new order.

      If you suspect that your order cannot be delivered as addressed and you have not received confirmation of its return or refund after four (4) weeks from the estimated delivery date, please contact us using one of the methods outlined in the Contact Us section.

Returns Policy

In order to keep our prices as low as possible, ALL SALES ARE FINAL! We are unable to exchange items or offer you a refund for any reason other than if the products you received are damaged, defective or incorrect.

When you place your order you are entering into a contractual agreement for your order and we will proceed with charging your indicated payment method and delivering the products and/or services.

If the product you receive is remarkably different than what was advertised on BlueRodeo.com please contact us using one of the methods outlined in the Contact Us section.

If you received a damaged, defective, or incorrect item we ask that you contact us using one of the methods outlined in the Contact Us section.
