Digital Downloads Arrive!

Posted on March 1st, 2010 by Nadious in Media Department

We are pleased to introduce the rollout of our new ‘Digital Download’ service here at the Snellville Church of God website.  What are digital downloads?  Basically, digital downloads are copies of our sermons (that you would normally get on CD) that are available for download, right from our website.  This allows us to offer our sermons at a cheaper rate (no physical media, no shipping costs, etc.) while being able to immediately provide the file for download as soon as payment is done.

What are the key differences between our Audio CDs and Digital Downloads?

AUDIO CDS DIGITAL DOWNLOADS
  • Audio is delivered on a physical compact disc, which can be played in any audio device (such as car stereos, home stereo players, etc.)
  • Audio is recorded in uncompressed WAV format and then burned strait to disc.
  • Average cost per CD is $5.00 each (with a $5.00 shipping charge per complete order, if requested to be mailed out.)
  • Audio CDs can take up to 24 hours to process and ship.
  • Audio is delivered in MP3 format via an instant download from our website.  MP3 can be used in portable audio devices, or converted to an audio CD for playback in regular audio devices.
  • Audio is recorded and then compressed to 64kbps (VBR) to optimize quality and file size (quicker downloads.)  Approx file size is 17 – 25 MB.
  • Average cost per download is $3.00 (No CD = No Shipping Charge.)
  • Digital Downloads can be downloaded INSTANTLY after payment.  No waiting.

Once you order your digital download(s), you will be e-mailed instructions on how to download your files.  These files are available for 24 hours and then are removed from the download queue.  (It is extremely important that you have a working e-mail address and check your JUNK MAIL folder, in case this e-mail were to be considered ‘spam’ by your mailbox.)  It is recommended that you have high-speed internet for digital downloads, as each track could take a few minutes to download, depending on your ISP bandwidth / speed.

We currently offer all of our regular services from 2010 in our store, as well as the 2010 Winter Revival (with Evangelist Scott Crowe) that has been frequently requested.  We hope to add more digital downloads (starting with 2009) as we move forward.  Be sure to stop by our online store to check out what we have to offer (or) purchase your digital downloads today!
