Hi,
I have a client looking to create a music site for their label. I was considering using Joomla vs. handcoding the whole thing and then discovered your component...looks really nice.

Can Music Collection allow me to provide the following:
1. A Mp3 library catalog
2. A video library catalog
3. Catalog/Video to be sorted by Genre
4. Search feature for both video and audio
5. Upload and download option to be controlled by client
6. Paypal link for purchases
7. Stat counter to track traffic
8. Consumer profile creation

From your web site, it seems like your product will provide #1, #3, #4 (partially), #5, #7.

I can't figure out if #2, #6, #4 (video search) or #8 are supported. If not, how much would it be to customize the code to add this functionality?

Also, I'd like to be able to have users be able to search for videos as well as music using same search criteria. Can your program do this?

I'm hoping that I can associate a video for each song I want to (including multiple videos for a single playlist or album/CD). Is that possible?

Thanks for your help!!!

Dear Paul,

find comments below:

1) yes
2) partially: you can add a Youtube video to each song
3) catalog sorted by genre coming on version 2.0 (to be released on February probably. Free upgrade)
4) search feature for audio. Music Collection is oriented to audio, not to video. video is only an add-on
5) don't know exactly what you mean.... Admins can set up if the files can be downloaded by everybody, registered users or nobody. uploads by client coming on v2.0
6) link for external ecommerce feature. NO paypal integration in music collection. "ecommerce" feature included in Music Collection, with paypal transactions, coming SOME TIME in 2010. yes, I know that's not very specific information... I just can tell you that once version 2 is out, we'll start working on a e-commerce edition
7)yes
8) don't know exactly what you mean... but no

all the missing features you want can be programmed customly, but the more delicated point is #6. this is a serious thing, and it is A LOT of work (A.K.A, a lot of money ) if you want the ecommerce feature integrated into Music Collection

to make a quote on the videos feature we'd have to specify all the exact features you'd like (how you'd like to present the videos, etc)

best,
Germi

Hi,

I will definitely need customization. Question is, how close are you to releasing 2.0? Will it definitely release in Feb. Can I beta test a 2.0 prototype now?

I followed you on twitter (id: bradycon) and sent you my skype ID. I have skype and google voice. I'm betting skype will be a better choice to talk. I need to fill you in on this project as I will definitely need customization quote for adding paypal integration (and perhaps 2checkout & authorize.net also). Where are you located? Germany? US?

I need to be able to sell individual tracks, entire albums, and also optionally charge bands for to pay a membership fee on a monthly or annual basis.

Anyway, I look forward to talking to you soon.

Paul

yes, release date is still set to Feb.
no, there's no beta yet.

I'm located in Spain.

For customization purposes, contact be through joomlamusicsolutions@gmail.com



FYI right now I'm kinda busy developing version 2.0, so your customization, in case we go ahead with this, would start after version 2 is out...

Hi,

I sent email to your gmail account as you mentioned previously in this thread but never heard from you.

Here's the message I sent to your gmail account:

Hi,

We spoke a while ago - see this thread:

www.joomlamusicsolutions.com/en/forum/ge...-purchase-questions.
html#3923

I was just checking back in now that version 2.0 has released.

Can you tell me what it might cost me to have e-commerce features added to
your program that would enable folks to purchase a single song or an entire
album (or a selection of single songs from one or various artists)?

At a minimum, paypal should be used to allow e-commerce...but also an
Authorize.net integration might be nice too...especially if sales really
takes off for my client.

Can you send me a quote on this? And when it could be done?

ALSO - a BIG question...since your product runs on Joomla I'm assuming that
I can use Artisteer to design the basic skin of the site (not the JMC
pieces - just the overall look/feel of the site).

Please let me know when you get a chance.
