I love the idea of the store widget. Am I the only one having trouble with it though? Its been buggy last few weeks. Something to do with html5? Also kinda bummed I can’t choose custom color to fit my branding. They have options but not fully custom.
Let me see if I can get a reply from someone at CD Baby.
Hi Jay,
We haven’t heard of any other issues with our MusicStore but please feel free to give us a call at 1-800-289-6923 to talk through it or shoot us an email at cdbaby@cdbaby.com. This article may be a helpful resource as well: http://diymusician.cdbaby.com/2011/10/cd-babys-complete-guide-to-setting-up-your-musicstore-for-facebook/
As we look to release a version 2 of the MusicStore we’ll definitely consider additional colors.
Thanks Jay,
