Pam, one of our top commenters, was kind enough to write instructions to download Danny’s single, since the download of the iTunes software till the final purchase.

Go to www.apple.com
Click on the little box below where it says iTunes9.
Sept. 9, 2009
Free for Mac + PC

The box says download
Click on this box

To the left of the new screen click on Download Now

Click on Save file and it will start to download

Once it is downloaded there will be a little box with a CD and note in it; either on your desktop or under the “download” box down on your toolbar. Double click on it and then choose “Run file”. This will install iTunes and Quicktime to your computer. You will have to click the usual “next” boxes and check the agreements, etc.

That should be it! An itunes Icon will appear on your desktop. To enter it double click.

On the left side look for “Store” and single click on itunes store. It will take you to the store.

To find Danny’s song you can type in either Danny Gokey or My Best Days Are Ahead Of Me in the box in the upper right hand corner and hit enter.

Once it takes you to his song look to the right and click on the “$1.29 BUY” button. It will instruct you to enter credit card information, or if you wish to use an itunes card (purchase at Target, walmart, grocery stores, Best Buy, etc)
instead, go to the home page (click the house on the black bar) and look up under Quick Links. Click on Redeem and it will ask you to put in the number that is on the back of your itunes card you have scratched off with a quarter/whatever. That will put $$ in your account so that when you click BUY under the song it will pay for it.

It will say “Are you sure you want to buy My Best Days Are Ahead Of Me” and although you want to say “Damn Straight I do” you just click yes. It will then show up in your “Library” (over on the left side). Click “Music”. It will show up. To play it just double click on it.

To gift the single to someone, click the arrow next to the songs BUY button and a drop down menu will appear. Choose “Gift This”. It is the first selection in the drop down if it is hard to see. Another screen pops up that says Give a Gift and you just fill in the information. All you need is their email address. You can send to multiple recipient emails at one time so you don’t have to keep doing it over and over.

Happy Buying! I hope no one faces any glitches! If so, scream for help and hopefully someone will be able to instruct you!

The good news is that ‘My Best Days Are Ahead Of Me’ is already listed on Amazon US with a December 21, 2009 release. Better yet, on Amazon UK it has a December 20, 2009 release.

The bad news is that, very much like iTunes, songs in a mp3 format can only be purchased on Amazon.com by customers with an US billing address as rules for digital copies are different from the ones for actual CDs (that can be exported to other countries). The same applies to Amazon UK, available only for UK residents. I discovered that when I tried to pre-order the single.

Where am I supposed to buy ‘My Best Days Are Ahead Of Me’, then? Oh, TPTB, you make life very hard for an international fan… sigh… I shall not desist, though. There must be a place in Australia that will sell it! Come on, iTunes Australia, step it up! I’m not holding my breath, though, as the only Kris Allen single they have available is the God-awful ‘No Boundaries’. I KID YOU NOT. Adam Lambert, on the other hand, has a pre-idol album, the ‘For Your Entertainment’ album, the ‘No Boundaries’ single, the ‘Time for Miracles’ single and the complete 2012 movie soundtrack. Oh, they also have that song from the ‘Ten Commandments’ movie. I really wonder… nevermind…
