This doesn't take long to arrive so you´ll be up and running again no time, but if you haven't received this email, please check your spam/junk folder in case it has ended up in there. If you have requested a password reset to a mis-spelt or un-registered email address then you will not receive this email, so please ensure you enter the correct email address.
If you get locked out of your account you'll have access again after only 30 minutes. These restrictions are in place to protect your account from fraudulent activity so we thank you for your patience. We strongly advise not to copy and paste your new password when entering it a second time from your first entry as this can cause issues. We suggest to manually type in the new password twice and also ensure that your web browser is not storing any existing passwords for Licklibrary, as again this can cause login failures.
PLEASE NOTE: It is not possible to contact us directly to ask us what your current password is as all account passwords are encrypted and we cannot see what they are, you must use the password reset option.
Downloading & playing media
The ‘Online Lesson’ videos are only available as streams and therefore not available to download, however all the jam tracks on the website are available to download and play on from your compatible devices. The only other additional items you can download are 'digital' versions of our DVD and CD catalogue which are available to buy in the Store.
Whilst this is technically possible on both types of devices, by default neither Apple iOS or Android currently support the opening of ZIP files natively and therefore would require the installation of a 3rd party app to open this type of file (which are available from the App Store/Google Play).
Therefore we recommend that you first download the ZIP file to a desktop/laptop computer, extract the contents of the ZIP file and then transfer the MP4/MP3/PDF files you have extracted over to the mobile device via either iTunes for any Apple devices or to your Android device using Android compatible file transfer software.
The size of the zip files does vary greatly depending on the DVD/CD title in question, with digital DVDs being approx between 1.5GB - 5GB and CDs being approx 30MB - 100MB in size.
There are a few reasons why you may not be able to open the ZIP file, the first being that it has corrupted during download and therefore you would need to delete the file you have downloaded and attempt the download once more. If you are a Mac OS X user, sometimes the default application on OS X does not handle large zip files very well, so we suggest to download and install 'The Unarchiver' from the App Store, which is free to download and can be found via this link http://itunes.apple.com/app/the-unarchiver/id425424353?mt=12&ls=1
The primary file type you download is called a ZIP file which is an archiving format that allows you to groups lots of different files into one sinfgle file that is compressed in size. Contained within the ZIP files are the following types of files :- Video files which are encoded as H.264 MP4 format, audio files which are in MP3 format encoded at 320kbps and any accompanying tablature / chord charts which will be in Adobe PDF format where applicable. In order to access these files you simply open the ZIP file (which is usually handled by default by the operating system you use, although in some circumstances you may need a 3rd party app to open ZIP files if you cannot open ZIP files by default), which will then show you what is contained within the ZIP and from there you can open or save these files to another location or device of your choice.

DVD Related Questions
PAL & NTSC are the two main video standards used globally for televisions, DVD players etc. As a rough guide PAL is predominantly used in the UK, Europe and many parts of Asia and Africa and NTSC features mostly in the US, Canada, most of South America and Japan. It is always best to check the video standard used in your country before making any purchases if you are unsure. All of our DVD products indicate what video standards they are available in, so if you see an item marked as 'Video format : PAL Only' this means that for this particular course the DVD itself is only available in PAL format and is unlikely to play on set top DVD players that are NTSC based.
Whilst it is generally possible for PAL set top DVD players to play NTSC formatted discs (if the DVD player is ‘multi region’ capable), unfortunately most NTSC set top players by default cannot play PAL DVDs unless the device is 'multi format' capable (not be confused with 'multi region') which in this case such NTSC set top players can convert PAL format DVDs on the fly to play directly on a NTSC TV (but you will need to check with your DVD player's documentation or manufacturer to confirm this).
Yes there is! Apart from getting your hands on a 'multi format' set top DVD player (mentioned above) the other easy option you have is to use either a computer's in-built DVD player or external DVD player that connects via a USB connection, as all computer based DVD players (on both PC and Mac) are not subject to any video format restrictions and will happily play both PAL & NTSC formatted DVDs, irrespective of which country you live in.
Please note that DVD players used in games consoles (X Box, Playstation, Wii etc) do not always support both video formats, so again you will have to check with the manufacturer for more information.
There can be times when your computer's operating system will not autoplay our DVDs when they are inserted. To get around this all you need to do is open your default DVD player software BEFORE you insert the DVD disc, then if the the DVD still doesn't start playing, simply go into your DVD player controls and manually start the playback of the DVD.
