My Media: adding files to sell on your store
Media Types
When adding files to your ZIPBOX Media store you will be asked what type of media you are uploading.
You may upload more than one file type to any collection, but you must select only one type of media for categorization purposes. For example, you might choose to sell an album of music (music files) including some album art (image files). When asked what type of media you are uploading, you would select "music."
Below is a list of those types and their descriptions.
Audio (Not Music)
This is typically an mp3 file, but it can be any of the files listed below. The difference between Audio (Not Music) and Music is that Audio files will not be reported to SoundScan for music sales and therefore no UPC or ISRC numbers are required. If you want your mp3 or other type of audio file to be included on the music sales numbers select Music.
File types accepted: aac, aif, iff, m4p, midi, mp3*, mpa, ra, wav, wma.
Image
Image files are any digital image file in the list below. JPGs, GIFs and PNGs are all made into 600 pixel wide preview images automatically.
File types accepted: 3dm, ai, bmp, drw, dwg, dxf, eps, gif*, jpeg*, jpg*, pct, pdf, pln, png*, ps, psd, psp, svg, thm, tif, tiff
