Singstar Noobie

Hi, i have just bought Singstar ABBA for xmas, for my better half. She has now ruined every classic ABBA track available (just kidding) and now wants to buy more songs.

I have setup a PSN account for her, and she has now put £10 credit on to buy a few of her fave tracks.
On the bottom left of the main screen there it says 1 of 8. Assuming this the count of songs downloaded.

My questions are:
Where can I see the download management - to see how each download is progressing?

Where will the song eventually end up? - read a few posts that they sometimes disappear into deleted items folder??

And if she switches off PS3, will the downloads continue where they start or be lost/restart?

Many thanks in advance!!

Mark

Re: Singstar Noobie

Not sure how the ABBA version works, but in the 'full' versions with the SingStore, you add the songs to your cart and after payment etc you will see the "1 of 8" at the bottom left of the screen.

The songs automatically download in the background and you will notice a faint colour bar progressing behind the "1 of 8".

Each song when downloaded is automatically added to the Singstar selection - when you go back to the song section in the game, it will show "UPDATING" after you have downloaded any new song.

Hope that helps...

There just aren't any at the moment. I'm not sure that it's a copyright issue though, as her music doesn't appear to be published by Universal Music Group (whose artists are notably missing from the SingStore).
