Take Note: iTunes does not sell karaoke!

First, click the "disclosure triangle" (twirly arrow) on the "Music Stores" icon. Then click one of the music store icons (only TriceraSoft and Karaoke Locker for now) to see what's in the store. Search the store. Click the "Buy Song" button :) On lots of songs! Okay you do have to fill out your "One Click Settings" (see below) in the preferences. If you want true one click with no questions asked, then also turn off the "Confirm All Purchases" check box. To buy songs you can also just drag them to your library, that is how you can buy multiple songs at once, select them all and drag them to your library. You can hear a sample by double clicking the song.

Note: Show your Tasks window just after start up. The *first* time you start with no music store, kJams must download and parse the store, only AFTER that will the store appear in the list on the left. Watch the tasks window to see when these tasks complete.

If you select the "Music Stores" little shopping bag icon, you'll get info about each store (only one for now), and a double click on the store will show you the songs in the store.

The music store will ask you to update it once per month. If you decline to update it, it will wait another month to ask you. You can udpate the store any time however, by context clicking it's playlist icon and picking "Reload Music Store".

Your Credit Card will be declined once

Take note that your credit card will work perhaps the first couple times, but then will be declined. You will have to call your credit card company and tell them to allow microtransactions at the music store vendor (you may have to call once for each store). For more info, see Credit Card Declined.

Preferences

• "Include music store songs in main Library": it means you can search your Library to find all songs from both your library and any enabled music stores. This is handy but potentially dangerous if you have "Confirm All Purchases" turned off. For example, you can scroll to any music store song and press play, and it will happily purchase the song for you without asking. And then without asking will purchase the next one, then the one after that etc. etc. But it can be very useful if you are a KJ and you want singers to be able to search for and submit songs that are in your music stores (which you gladly purchase for them). Another danger is if you have "Pre-cacheing" turned on in the General prefs, this will not only purchase the song you play, but will also purchase and download the NEXT song in the playlist, which could be an expensive song.
• "Only streaming songs": when checked, only the Chartbuster store will show up in the Library (it is the only streaming store).
