How does it work? (click to expand)
1. Start by downloading the free Hemi-Sync Rich Media Player (indicate your preference for Windows or Macintosh)
Minimum System Requirements: Optimized for Laptop and Desktop computers; partial support for netbooks;
Minimum Screen Resolution = 900 pixels x 760 pixels
Windows: XP or later, 32-bit and 64-bit (Windows 7 Starter only minimally supported)
Macintosh: OSX 10.5 or later
2. Once you have completed downloading the player to your computer, double-click on the program file and floow the on-screen directions to install it. The player will automatically start up when installation is complete.
Note: On initial startup you will be given the option to first run Media Discovery, which creates a library of rich media albums from all the music you already have on your computer and fills up your Queue. This can be run at anytime, so you can return to this later if you prefer not to run Media Discovery immediately.
3. Click on the Extras tab and switch to the browser view which will display the rich media liner notes.
4. Then click on the Hemi-Sync icon in the player's toolbar.
5. This will open the Hemi-Sync store inside the player.
6. Now you are ready to purchase and experience Hemi-Sync Rich Media albums.
Why don't you just sell MP3s like iTunes or Amazon? (click to expand)
Hemi-Sync audio tracks incorporate patented technologies and alternative therapies and can in no way be compared to ordinary audio files. We believe 'context' is essential so listeners and practictioners can gain the greatest benefit from these extraordinary binaural beat brainwave Hemi-Sync recordings. We are confident you will agree that the enhanced media and richer context make for a deeper, more fulfilling experience, and is certainly worth the single download and installation of the Hemi-Sync Rich Media Player.
What is an EP3 Format? (click to expand)
What's the difference between EP3s and MP3s? Think of EP3 as 'electronic packaging' for MP3s.
EP3s contain MP3 audio files, but also so much more. We at Monroe Products chose this format for delivery because it places our products in a wonderful context that informs and supports your use of the technology so that you achieve the maximum benefit.
The .ep3 format was chosen because it preserves the integrity of the ALBUM format, where so much of digital download delivery is track-based. This is important for MP because many of our releases do not properly fit into the standard understanding of tracks, largely because of the Hemi-Sync® effect engineered into our titles.
For example, you might like to listen to track 4 of The Shaman's Heart. But listening to the track, by itself, and not in combination with other tracks of The Shaman's Heart, will not deliver the optimal experience we advertise. Hemi-Sync® needs time to entrain, and sometimes that entrainment follows a series of progressive changes in Hemi-Sync® frequency from track to track. Listening to the tracks individually and randomly, like you might with your favorite music library, just isn't going to deliver the best (or intended) results.
However, we do realize that we are a society on the go, and that some of our customers want their media to travel with them. You can export your albums out of the player as MP3s and import them into the player of your choice.
Not only do our .ep3 albums contain the sound tracks you desire, but they also contain all of the necessary supporting information to help you understand and optimize your Hemi-Sync® experiences. We think you will agree that our new digital albums are both beautiful and useful. We look forward to hearing your feedback.
OK, I get it... Hemi-Sync rich media albums are really great. But I still like listening in iTunes, Windows Media Player, on my iPod, etc. (click to expand)
No worries. With a single click you can unpack an entire album (including all media, pictures and extras) or export individual tracks and pictures to any location, then play them however you wish.

What happens if my computer crashes or I change computers? Will I lose all my digital purchases from Monroe Products? (click to expand)
Once again, no worries... we have you covered. If your computer crashes or you change computers just let us know. We'll have your purchases on file and will replace everything at no cost, no questions asked.
In any event, we do strongly advise that you backup your downloaded albums to an external disc drive or CD/DVD.

My Internet connection isn't the greatest. What happens if I lose connection in the middle of a download? Will I have another chance? (click to expand)
After you make your purchase from the www.hemi-sync.com website, you will be taken to a receipt page which contains the download link(s) for your album(s). Click the link(s) to initiate the download. In addition, an email that contains the same link(s) will be sent to the email address you provide at the purchase.
If you lose connection during the download, just click either the link(s) on the receipt page or in the email and the download will begin again.
