How to Load MPT Tunes

Step 1. Save the Tunes

  • Open email from tunes@morepowertuning.com that contains your MPT Tune
  • Save tunes from your email to your Windows computer's hard drive

Your MPT Tunes will be sent as attachments to an email. The first thing you need to do is save them to your computer. We often prefer to save them to the Desktop so that they are easy to find. Other common choices are the Downloads and My Documents folders. The key point is to make sure to remember where you saved them.

  • Yahoo: Scroll to the bottom of the email, and look for a file starting with MPT. It will likely have a paperclip icon on it. Click on them individually saving them one at a time. It is better to not press the Download All button. When the option to Save File or Open with comes up, choose Save File. Press Ok. Choose a location you will remember. Typically the default saving location is Downloads. It is recommended to NOT change the file name. Keep it as MPT has named it.
  • Hotmail: Attachments will be at the top of the email, usually looking like a piece of a paper with one corner folded. Do not click on Download as zip.
