Prior to your first purchase, you will need to set up your account information and provide an email address. The email address is used by the music stores to notify you of your order information.

Also, if you plan on streaming music, you will need to set up your account to allow this. To understand the Preferences relating to streaming music, refer to Chartbuster and TriceraSoft.

Please note that kJams keeps your credit card information encrypted at all times.

To set up your basic purchase account information:

  1. Click on Edit → Preferences → Stores. The Stores information page is displayed.
  2. Click on Edit Credit Card Settings.
  3. Enter your credit card information.
    1. Note that your card #, expiration date, and security code are immediately encrypted, so be sure to enter them correctly.
    2. The expiration date must be entered in the following format: MM/YYYY
  4. Click OK.
  5. Click on Edit E-mail Address. (It’s important to use your real address because this is how you get your receipts.)
  6. Enter your email address, then click on OK.
  7. If you want true “one click” shopping with no questions asked, deselect the Confirm All Purchases box. This is not recommended for newbies, as it is very easy to purchase songs without realizing it.
  8. The option to Include Music Store Songs in Main Library allows you to do an exhaustive search when you’re looking for a particular song. With this option activated, kJams searches your Library, plus all enabled music stores. You also have the option of limiting the search to streaming songs only.
  9. If you deselect Confirm All Purchases and select Include Music Store Songs in Main Library, then there is an additional preference that you should deselect. Go to Edit → Preferences → General and deselect Pre-cache Next Song. Leaving this preference selected will cause kJams to purchase the song you are playing, but also the next song in the playlist.
  10. If your are planning on streaming music, purchase your subscriptions and then set your preferences according to the information located here: Chartbuster and TriceraSoft.
  11. Click on OK to exit the Stores preferences screen.

Davequestion??Do we need to mention other Preferences here??? I'd like to keep it simple and mention only those Preferences that are critical at this stage.

IMPORTANT: Don't ignore the warning under #9. If you set up your options incorrectly, it is possible for you to scroll to any music store song and press play, and kJams will happily purchase the song for you without asking. And then without asking, it will purchase the next one that plays, and the next one. Setting your options this way 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 will gladly purchase for them). However, please make sure you know what you are doing.
