Please Note

Our store is dedicated to South Africans at home and those living abroad, particularly in the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and the United States. To make shopping simple and convenient for our international customers, all prices are displayed in US Dollars (USD). No matter where you are in the world, we hope our music brings a little piece of South Africa into your heart.

Why Support Heritage Heart?

When you purchase from Heritage Heart, you aren't just buying a digital file—you are making a tangible difference. Your support helps a local South African business grow, allowing us to continue creating high-quality content for our community.

Here is why your support matters:

• Direct Local Impact: Your purchase helps a South African business survive. It enables us to earn a living, pay our staff, and cover our bills. By buying directly, you cut out the global "middlemen."

• The Reality of Streaming: On platforms like Spotify, artists are often paid through distributors (like DistroKid or TuneCore) who charge yearly fees that eat into very small profits that they make. Buying directly ensures all your money actually reaches the creator - us.

• Ownership vs. Renting: On iTunes and Spotify, you are essentially "renting" access. If you stop paying your subscription, the music is gone.

On Spotify and Apple Music (iTunes streaming):

• You are not buying the music
• You are paying for temporary access via a subscription
• If you cancel or stop paying, you lose access to the music library
• Even if you: Download songs for offline listening / Add them to playlists / Those files are locked to your active subscription. Once it ends, they won’t play.
• With us, your purchase covers a lifetime Private Use License. You can play your song over and over again, whenever you like and on multiply devices.

If someone buys one of our songs from this online store:

• They keep it (Private Licence)
• No subscription required
• No future payments
• It doesn’t disappear

"Your Private Use Licence allows you to play this song for your personal enjoyment and for your immediate family. You are welcome to keep a copy on all of your personal devices (phone, tablet, laptop).

Please Note: This licence is for one household only. These files may not be shared, emailed, or copied for friends, extended family, or use in a professional/educational setting. For school or business use, please see our Commercial Licence."

• Mastered for Quality: Most streaming audio is compressed for small headphones. Heritage Heart tracks are mastered using advanced, professional software to sound rich and clear on high-quality speakers, in large rooms (like lobbies), or as crystal-clear audio for educational use. All songs are for private use only. Commercial licenses are available from us upon request.

• Fair Pay for Fair Work: We believe in a fair wage. The hours spent researching educational topics, refining beats, and ensuring studio-quality sound is our craft. Our song price allows us to sustain the skill and effort required for every track.

• Zero Hidden Fees: No subscriptions, no "per-play" royalties, and no surprise charges. One payment, total peace of mind.

• How Your purchase Is Invested:

• A portion covers essential transaction costs (payment gateway fees and webstore commissions).

• A portion goes toward business rent, high-speed internet, electricity, software subscriptions, and design time.

• The Remainder: Pays salaries and if possible, reinvested back into the company, depending on sale volumes.

Unlimited Commercial Licenses.:

If you wish to use our songs for commercial purposes—for example in Hostels, Hotels, Travel Agencies, Shops, Airports, Stadiums, Restaurants, B&Bs, Gyms, or at Private Functions and so forth—we have a Commercial Licence designed just for you.

The Heritage Heart Commercial Licence (R850.00 per song):

• Unlimited Usage: You gain the full right to play the song as many times as you want, for as long as you want. There are no monthly "per-play" fees.

• Multichannel Rights: You can legally use the track across Radio, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and your Company Website.

• Business Security: This is incredible value for money because it protects your business from legal copyright issues. Since these songs help create an atmosphere that attracts customers, they are an investment that helps you make money.

• Ownership Note: Please note that Heritage Heart retains full ownership of the tracks and the right to continue using/selling them. This licence grants you the right to use the music in your business, but does not transfer the copyright."

N/B: All songs can be given in original HD WAV 24Bit, 48kHZ format if requested.

Most of our songs are recorded at 320kbps.

Professional Audio Guarantee:

MP3 is a lossy compression format, meaning it removes some audio information to reduce file size.

• At 128 kbps, a lot of detail is removed → noticeable quality loss
• At 192 kbps, it’s decent
• At 320 kbps, very little is removed → much closer to the original recording

So 320 kbps preserves:

• Clearer highs (cymbals, vocals)
• Better bass definition
• Less distortion
• More “space” in the sound

A standard audio CD (uncompressed PCM) runs at 1,411 kbps.

While 320 kbps is still compressed, for most people:

• It sounds very close to CD quality
• Differences are hard to notice without high-end headphones or speakers

In everyday listening (car, Bluetooth earbuds, streaming), most people can’t reliably tell the difference.

320 kbps gives you:

• High quality
• Reasonable file size
• Good compatibility (MP3 works everywhere)

A 3-minute song at 320 kbps ≈ 7–8 MB

The same song in lossless format (like FLAC) ≈ 25–35 MB So it’s a strong compromise.

You’ll notice the benefit more if:

• You use good headphones or speakers
• You listen to detailed music (classical, jazz, acoustic, layered production)
• You’re sensitive to compression artifacts

For casual listening, even 256 kbps can be enough.

 Bottom Line

320 kbps MP3 is good because it’s the highest-quality MP3 setting and sounds nearly indistinguishable from CD quality for most listeners — while still keeping file sizes manageable.

FOR COMMERCIAL USE

The "Inspector" Factor: Its a good idea to have a "Compliance Folder" at the front desk or manager's office, if you are a business of some sorts. In South Africa, hotels and restaurants, pubs and bars and so forth are frequently visited by inspectors from SAMPRA (recording rights) and SAMRO (compositions). If you can't prove you have a license to play your music that you have on hand, you can face heavy fines.

The "Subscription" vs. "Ownership" Breakdown

Feature: Spotify (R100/month) vs Audio Delight (Song Cost) Ownership

Spotify: You are "renting." If you stop paying, the music is gone. With us: You own it forever. It's yours even if you have no internet.

Direct Impact - Spotify: I get about R0.06 (6 cents) when you listen. I, Heritage Heart get the song asking price when you buy.

Quality: Spotify - Compressed for tiny earphones. Audio Delight: Mastered for high-end, room-filling sound.

Offline Use - Spotify: Requires data/subscription to keep. Audio Delight: offline. No data needed. Play it from a USB, laptop, or phone.

FREQUENT QUESTION ASKED BY CUSTOMERS:

On Spotify I only pay R100.00 per month for millions of songs, why must I buy from you?

• Direct Support: If you listen to my song on Spotify, they pay me about 6 to 10 cents. I’d need you to listen to that one song 500 times just for me to buy a loaf of bread! When you buy our songs for the price that we ask, that money actually helps me pay our rent and keep the business running today. Secondly, these unique songs cannot be found else where except on this platform. Thirdly, you are supporting a South African small business!! By buying local and directly, you are helping others and changing lives.

• Renting vs. Owning: With Spotify, you're basically 'renting' the music. If you ever cancel your sub, you lose the songs. When you buy from this platform, all songs are yours for life. You can put it on a USB for the car, play it for the kids without using data, and it never expires.
