The PC user (18) logs onto the vendor's web site (20) and browses the songs available for purchase. The songs can be arranged by artist, music style, etc., as mentioned above. If interested in a song, the PC user (18) has the option of cliking on a song to "pre-listen" to it. If the PC user (18) then wishes to purchase the song, she can submit her order by cliking on the icons located next to each song/album. As the PC user selects more items, each and every item is displayed in the shopping basket (22). At any point in time, the PC user (18) can review her selections deleting items she no longer desires.
