I have a disabled son who wants to sell his music (he owns the copyright) on his website using PayPal. What do you think is the simplest way to make this happen? I have a few ideas but none of them seem too simple and music downloads is not really my area. I really did not want to set up a full blown shopping cart. I would appreciate any ideas, thanks.

personally i would recomend oscommerce, even though you wanted to stay away from a cart. its fairly easy to set up

even with google cart your going to need code that confirms payment and sends a link to the software to download. it would not be cool to pay for an mp3 and have to wait for someone to read their mail then send the link.

do you know php? you could make the scripts yourself. paypal has easy buttons to get paid with. you can copy code to get your payments, but you need feedback from paypal upon confirmation to enable the mp3 link

Thanks a bunch, that was the answer I was afraid I would get, ha. My PHP skills are not that great. I already have the PayPal code. I will take a look at oscommerce. Thanks again.
