Renting through the Playback App
This is one of the more-commonly used ways to rent tracks, and ensures you’re renting on the correct device. You can rent tracks in Playback by simply opening your pre-made setlist, or building a new setlist and searching for songs from the MultiTracks.com “all songs” catalogue. When adding songs, you can choose to load in the click and guide, or rent the content starting at that moment.Renting through MultiTracks.com
You can also rent songs from your library directly, or from within a setlist you’ve created. Simply open up the library page for that song, and choose the “Rent” option in the list of track products on the right.Then, choose the device you’d like to rent on and your rental will start processing for that device!
Rental Processing
Each song rented is processed through MultiTracks.com. Processing for a rental will usually take around 30 second to 5 minutes, and then the song will be ready to be downloaded on to the Playback Device. After the content is processed, it will be available for 7 days on that single device.
