Ex JR3 User - New to JR5 = Confused
Using Jamroom
Hi Darren - welcome back to Jamroom!
Jamroom 5 is really, really different than Jamroom 3 - while Jamroom 3 was one, large "monolithic" system, Jamroom 5 is 100% modular, and has been designed to work for many, many different sites rather than just musicians.
So a lot of it depends on what functionality you want - I'm guessing you want audio support, but what about video? youtube? image galleries? etc. - all of these are installed as separate "modules" in your Jamroom, directly from the Marketplace. It's actually super easy.
The good news is that JR5 still uses Smarty for templates, so if you're familiar with editing JR3 templates, you'll feel right at home in JR5.
There's dozens of different modules and skins available:

Hope this helps!
