	Note that Party Tyme does not enable song previews (auditions). However, they do offer "first week free", so if you just want a taste to see if you like their music, sign up for the Monthly subscription. Your card will NOT be charged until after a week has elapsed, but during that time you can play all the songs you want! If you're not satisfied, just just click "Disable" next to "Auto Renew" in the preferences before the week is done.		Note that Party Tyme does not enable song previews (auditions).

	Note this store is Streaming only (you can't purchase tracks). There are over 13 thousand songs available for streaming! There are also several free songs which are marked with the Green label (search for "label:2" in the store). You must create a free account with '''Party Tyme Pro''' ahead of time to play the free songs, and of course you must purchase a streaming subscription to stream the rest. For the 48 hour pass, you must have an internet connection at the time you wish to stream. With the Monthly subscription, kJams will pre-download all the cloud data (encrypted), then you can "stream" from that, so you do NOT need an internet connection when you want to play any of the songs in the cloud library.

	Tethering means that a copy of all the cloud data will be stored locally on your computer or external drive. The "tether" means that it is "tied" to your computer via your serial number and your username and password, so the database you have can't be used by someone else. What's great about having a local copy is that you do not need to be online in order to "stream" any of the songs! That means that when you operate at a venue that has no internet connection, you still have access to the ''entire'' streaming library. Another benefit is that if you ARE online, when you purchase a song, the song comes out of the local cloud data store, instead of needing to download.<br><br>		Tethering means that a copy of all the cloud data will be stored locally on your computer or external drive.

	If you sign up for Monthly, kJams will automatically start downloading the entire song database to your kJams folder, in a folder called "~~ParParty~~ Tyme Pro Tethered Database". It will take about 500GB of space, so be sure you have enough before you start. It will take a long time too, on a good connection it may take a day or more to get it all. On a slow connection, it may take a few days. If there are hiccups part way thru, you can just (optionally force) quit kJams and run again, and it will pick up where it left off. Do not worry about the songs that don't sync properly, this sometimes happens with newly added songs, we're likely aware of it already and have a fix planned, they will be skipped and marked as "Missing" and the "Comment" will show why. (You can [[Sorting\|show the "Missing" and "Comment" sort columns]] if you like).
