These are some of the questions we get asked everyday. Hopefully this FAQ can help answer any questions you may have. If they still don't answer your question, feel free to leave a post in the "Requests" section or email us at: enquiries@ihoneyjoo.com.
Q: How do I download music from iHoneyJoo.com?
A: Every post/article has a link located at the bottom. Click the MediaFire.com/Megaupload.com link and it will open in a new window. If the link is a MediaFire.com link then click on the "Click here to download" link. Wait a few seconds and a download dialogue box should pop up asking you where to save/open the file to. Choose your destination and then click "OK" to start the download. If the link is a Megaupload.com link then input the letters/numbers into the box on the top right hand corner, followed by clicking on the "download file" button. Wait 45 seconds and then proceed by clicking on the "Regular download" button. A dialogue box should pop up after a few seconds asking you were to save/open the file to. Choose your destination and then click "OK" to start the download.
Q: Is this site completely free? What's the catch?
A: Yes! This site is completely free. There is no need to register or subscribe to this site. iHoneyJoo.com is currently supported by Google Ads. Although these do help a tiny bit with paying the monthly server bills, licenses etc, it still isn't enough. If you can, please try to donate to iHoneyJoo.com and we'll put the donation into good use i.e. paying for the server bills, updating more frequently with new content, etc.
Q: How come the file I downloaded is in a .RAR format?
A: Older albums on this site were previously compressed in the WinRAR/.RAR format. To open these files, please download and install WinRAR. WinRAR is used by millions of people around the world and we highly recommend you install it as it can do many functions WinZip does, only more.
Q: When I try to open the downloaded file, it gives me errors and doesn't extract.
A: There can be many causes for this:
1) Your file is corrupted which may of been caused while downloading it. Slower connections (e.g. dial-up) often have problems with corrupted files because the connection isn't stable enough. To fix this, try to download the file again. In most cases, this fixes the error.
2) Some of the music posted on this site contain Asian characters in the file names, e.g. Chinese, Korean & Japanese. Some file compression programs have trouble opening ZIPs/RARs with Asian characters in them. To fix this, please download and install WinRAR. This fixes the problem for file names with Asian characters.
3) If downloading & installing WinRAR is not an option, an alternate way is to rename the files. To do this, open up the Zip/RAR in your favourite file-compression program and rename each file to something without Asian characters e.g. Song01.mp3, Song02.mp3, etc.
