KIMBO Dance Music

Option 1: Download music to a Desktop

This guide will walk you through the simple steps of downloading your purchased music and getting it into your favorite players: iTunes/Apple Music and Windows Media Player. 

Let's get started!  

Step 1: Downloading the Music File

Click on the Download File Button: Open your order confirmation email from Kimbo Dance Music and click the black Download File button.

Click to Download: Click on the download now link on the page that opened in your internet browser. Your web browser or application will usually prompt you to save the file.

Choose a Destination: Select a location on your computer where you want to save the music file. Your "Downloads" folder is a common and convenient place. Take note of where you save it!

Wait for the Download: The download progress will usually be displayed in your browser or application. Once it's finished, you'll have the music file on your computer.

Step 2: Extracting the Music Files 

(Skip this step if you purchased a single track. This step applies to full album or multitrack purchases.)

A ZIP file is like a compressed container holding one or more files. You need to "unzip" or "extract" the music files to access them.

For Windows:

Locate the ZIP File: Open File Explorer (the folder icon on your taskbar) and navigate to the location where you saved the ZIP file.

Right-Click: Right-click on the ZIP file.

Choose an Extraction Option: You'll see a few options. Choose one of the following:

"Extract All...": This is the most common option. A window will pop up asking where you want to save the extracted files. You can choose a new folder or keep the default location (usually a folder with the same name as the ZIP file in the same directory). Click "Extract."

"[Your ZIP program name, e.g., 7-Zip, WinRAR] > Extract Here": If you have a third-party ZIP program installed, you might see this option. "Extract Here" will extract the files directly into the same folder as the ZIP file.

"[Your ZIP program name, e.g., 7-Zip, WinRAR] > Extract to "[ZIP file name]"": This will create a new folder with the same name as the ZIP file and extract the contents into it.

Locate the Extracted Music: Once the extraction is complete, a new folder (or the same folder) will contain the individual music files. These files will likely be in formats like MP3, AAC, WAV, etc.

For macOS:

Locate the ZIP File: Open Finder (the smiling face icon in your Dock) and navigate to the location where you saved the ZIP file.

Double-Click: Simply double-click on the ZIP file. macOS has built-in support for ZIP files and will automatically extract the contents into a new folder with the same name as the ZIP file, located in the same directory.

Locate the Extracted Music: Open the newly created folder to find your music files.

Step 3: Importing Music into Your Players

Now that you have the individual music files, let's get them into your preferred music players.

Importing into iTunes or the Apple Music App (macOS Catalina and later):

Open iTunes or the Apple Music App: Launch the application on your computer.

Navigate to Your Library: In iTunes, click on "Library" in the top left. In the Apple Music app, you should be in the "Library" section by default.

Import Files: There are a couple of ways to import:

Drag and Drop: Open the folder containing your extracted music files. Select the files or the entire folder and drag them into the iTunes/Apple Music window.

Using the Menu:

iTunes (Windows & older macOS): Click on "File" in the top menu bar, then select "Add File to Library..." or "Add Folder to Library...". Navigate to the location of your music files or the folder containing them, select them, and click "Open."

Apple Music (macOS Catalina and later): Click on "File" in the top menu bar, then select "Add to Library...". Navigate to the location of your music files or the folder containing them, select them, and click "Open."

Wait for Import: iTunes/Apple Music will import the music files into your library. You'll see them appear in your songs list.
