I've never used this plugin so I don't know.  If you are purchasing the plugin, then it's best to ask the developers or I'm sure there'll be a manual in the plugin to help you. I assume the plugin options will probably be shown in the product pages.  Good luck.

Instructions can be dowloaded from http://extensions.virtuemart.net/extensions-virtuemart-2/shipment-for-virtual-products-detail - just click on the pdf icon.

I read the pdf instructions and your are right, I can't see where to upload the file, for example mp3 file. The manual is not that clear. Hopefully one day, this could be part of the VM installation.  You may need to go directly to the plugin to upload file. Not sure, maybe jenkinhill might know.

Yeh its not clear on where about to upload your mp3 in the product and how to attach it to your product for customers to see on the frontend, hopefully someone gets back to me with instructions.
