There are many benefits to buying audio on MP3's as oppose to CD's, these are listed below:

1. You can choose your prayers by Sadhana instead of by CD. This makes it easier to get what you want.
2. It is a fast way to buy. You don't need to wait a few days for your CD to arrive, or then have to spend time trying to convert it into MP3's so that you can load it on to your personal MP3 player. With this method, you just pay, download and unzip - it is that simple.
3. Track names and tag data are created and standardised. Often when you convert a CD into MP3's the tracknames cannot be found or the hidden MP3 Tags that most MP3 Players read are not constructed correctly and uniformly. With MP3 downloads from this site all the tracks and tags are named in a complete and uniform way.
4. 100% of the money you pay for your downloads goes to Tharpa Publications. When you buy physical products there are production costs and publishing costs involved; but with this system you can be happy knowing all the money you pay is going to the right place.
5. There are playlists created where needed. Often Sadhanas have many different ways that they can be practised, and for many this means changing cd tracks alot. To help with this we have created playlists for common variations of Sadhanas, and sometimes even added custom tracks to make this possible.
