Short answer – no. The nature of digital goods does not allow for refunds or exchanges – once the book or video is delivered, “returning” it is not an option. Therefore, no refunds or exchanges are available on purchases made through the Hudson Music Bookstore apps for iOS or through HudsonMusic.com.

Printing for books is not available. These books were designed to be 100% digital, paperless books.

Digital Products are offered with a single-user license, and may not be shared by more than one user – in other words, each person is required to purchase his or her own books for use. Each user/customer is permitted to download and access their purchased Digital Products on three (3) devices at one time. When you purchase access to the Digital Products you are purchasing a non-transferable, non-exclusive right to access the information. You may not publish or share the Digital Products or your login details with anyone else.  User accounts found to be in violation of this terms of use will be suspended and access to Digital Products will be revoked immediately.

With any of our digital eBooks that feature audio, you simply need to tap a given stave of notation, and audio playback will begin, right within the app. No separate files or purchases are required. Most available audio examples are marked on the page either with an existing icon (such as a CD icon) or a small play button (usually on full-chart pages).

Additionally, When you purchase an eBook that includes audio, you can now download those audio files to your computer, as well as having them embedded in the book. To download, login to MusiciansInstituteBookstore.com.com, visit the product page for which you’d like to download the audio – if owned, you will see a notice: “You Own This Product!”, with a link to download a zip file of all audio tracks associated with that book.

Books purchased in the MI Bookstore apps for iOS and Android using in-app purchase can not be accessed from within the Desktop Reader. Books purchased on Apple iOS devices using using in-app purchase will only be accessible on iOS devices using your Apple ID. Books purchased on Android devices using using in-app purchase will only be accessible on Android devices using your Google Play ID. This is a restriction due to Apple ID and Google Play accounts beyond our control.

For customers wanting the most flexible content viewing options, we recommend purchasing books from this website, MusiciansInstituteBookstore.com. Books purchased through this webstore will be accessible in any of our reader apps – for iOS, Android,  and standard computers. In-app purchases made through our iOS and Android apps offer a convenient method of purchase while using your existing Apple ID or Google Play accounts, but are less flexible in terms of viewing options.

To install the desktop reader application on certain Macintosh Operating System versions, locate the Hudson Music Bookstore installer wherever you downloaded it to your computer, right-click (or control-click) it and select “open”. You will be asked to confirm that you’d like to install, please choose “Open”. The software will then install with no problems.

After installation, if it’s the first time running the Hudson Book Reader application, you might need to go to your applications folder, right click it and choose open. Same overzealous security settings that prevent the app from installing sometimes affect it’s first-time running as well.

When I try to login to the reader app to view my books, I get the message “Sorry, you have exceeded the maximum number of devices allowed…”

Each user/customer is permitted to download and access their purchased Digital Products on three (3) devices at one time.
