Paid Download Packaging Lab

A draft workspace for working out what the I C. Infinity paid downloads should contain before the checkout layer is final.

Building Protopia artwork

Choose The Full Archive Pack

Full Music Archive Pack $50

The bigger catalogue option: released albums, most of A Protopian Gambit, B-sides, drafts, selected podcasts, and works in progress.

Changed Your Mind?

If the full archive feels too big, move down to a one, two, or three album pack before starting the order. All tiers now stay inside this single catalogue site.

Compare Before You Buy

You can still change your mind. Pick a smaller pack if that is cleaner, or stay with the whole archive if the bigger creative cache is what you want.

Packaging Principle

A paid download should be a direct value exchange, not charity language and not a vague tip jar. The buyer gets useful files. Luke gets cash to keep building.

Free streaming can stay as discovery. Paid downloads should feel like owning a clean, well-labelled slice of the project.

Packaging Checklist

1. Choose the bundle names and prices.

2. Decide file formats: MP3, WAV, FLAC, MP4, lyrics PDF, cover art, and notes.

3. Build one folder per bundle with simple names and no local machine paths.

4. Write buyer-facing copy only after the actual contents are clear.
