Terms of purchase & use

This site aims to promote musical works, both in classical and electronic music. The music has been composed and produced in a studio equipped with some of the best professional softwares and samplers available. In order to conciliate a level of encoding ensuring an optimum listening quality with a minimized size of files, the MP3pro format (111 Kbps VBR, 44 KHz) has been preferred (see About MP3pro). To better assist you in purchasing items corresponding to your expectations, this site gives you the opportunity to listen to a minute sample of each available title (which represents nearly 2 hours of free music listening). These samplers are representative enough to allow you picking the tunes of your choice. Besides, each listening album page offers you a text presenting the whole work. Choosing downloading commits your responsibility (see conditions listed below). The entire site is the exclusive property of MP3-creation, as well as the set of rights accruing to it. As a consequence, the use you will make of this music must remain strictly conform to the following contractual agreement.

Today, it is possible to acquire a musical piece from a simple mouse click.
