Zip files for PDF / Guitar Pro

Just a suggestion for the team to consider - would it be possible to offer all the pdf and Guitar Pro files in a zip format for subscribers? I think it would be handy instead of downloading each on individually.

Gumroad used to work exclusively with .zip files, and honestly we hated it. We had no way of delivering individual tabs to mobile devices. We actually had to turn away customers that didn’t have access to a desktop PC just so they could run a decompression utility from the DOS era just to unpack a bunch of folders, just to read notation. Plus, managing the zip files is a pain. Any time you fix a typo in a file, you have to re-make, and re-upload any pack it’s a part of. I was happy to see it go.

However: with the new platform, we’d consider re-adding this if we can automate it. It would require custom code to auto-generate the packs and display them on the pages they pertain to. Given that, we have discussed adding this as a perk to users who sign up for longer periods, or who have been with us for a while. Always happy to reward the support if we can.

It’s on the to-do list to discuss further. We’ll let everyone know if we go this way.

Thanks Troy. I never thought about the coding aspect of it. Currently I am just going through each clip and saving my favourites that way.

Once again, thank you.
