Say I want the mellow groove sample pack, after I pay, how exactly is it emailed to me? I mean does it give instructions on how to properly download and save to disk? I 'm not too computer literate so I just want to make sure that I''l be able to set up everything correcty. Also, do I need a zip drive or extended memory to load these basses? All have now is a base model 2000xl with no options or expansions and a regular floppy drive.

You are sent an email with a link - click on this link and your download starts. After downloading, extract the sounds using Winzip and transfer to your MPC.

To be honest, with only a bare model MPC, Mellow Vibes is not the best option for you, as each bass program is around 3 or 4 MB in size, so will not fit into memory. You really need the full memory expansion (you should get this anyway if you are serious about using your MPC to its fullest), and it's always a good idea to look into getting alternative storage options over a floppy.
