General Viewers

What kind of music will I find on this site?

You will find all types of music on our website. Mostly, we feature independent artists that have not been signed to major record labels. We are constantly adding more titles to our website.

How do I find an artist I am looking for?

If you are looking for a particular artist, the easiest way is to use our "Quick Search" feature found at the top of every page. If you know more information that might help to narrow your search, click on "Advanced Search."

You can also browse our catalog by the music style of the artists. On the homepage click on any music style on the left side of the screen.

Can I find these CDs at any major music store?

It is highly unlikely you will find any of our CDs at your local major music retailer. The music found here is by independent musicians that have limited distribution of their CD titles. If you like the music, buy it at rhythmnet.com. Chances are you will not find it the next time you visit your local mall.

Can I find these CDs anywhere else on the Internet?

It is possible that some artists distribute their CDs through numerous websites.

How do I listen to music samples?

Music samples that you can download from our site are in mp3 format. Chance are that your computer is already able to play this format. If not, there are many popular applications that support the playback of mp3 files. For an easy way to find these players go to download.com and search for "mp3 players." After downloading and installing the software you will be ready to listen to all of our music samples.

How do I purchase CDs?

It is simple. Just click on the "Order Now" button located next to the album that you would like to purchase. This will add the item to your shopping cart. You can now add more items into your shopping cart or check out and complete your purchase.

I want to download a music sample but the mp3 file only appears in a pop-up window. What do I do?

Your mp3 player application is configured to work automatically with your web browser software.

To download the file, simply right-click (on Macs hold down Control while clicking) and choose "Save to file..." from the menu.

You can also check the help guide in your browser software to disable the application from opening when downloading a mp3 file. This will cause the browser to download the file instead of playing it with the mp3 player application.

I would like to hear the mp3 sample right away but it keeps downloading to my computer first. What do I do?

You need to configure your web browser software to automatically launch your mp3 player application when clicking on a mp3 file. Check your help guide in your browser software for instructions. Once you have it setup, the mp3 file will appear in a pop-up window and start playing right away.

How is the merchandise I purchase shipped?

Your merchandise will be packed into a secure package to keep it safe. Delivery is handled by the United States Postal Service.
