Music site

Hi,

I found out about Jamroom CMS and I saw it has a lot of cool features. I am interested in building music site for selling music, instrumentals, etc. What modules do you suggest and is it possible to build so users can upload their music, get paid for it and buyers get music right after purchase? On frontpage there should be list of uploaded music, artists/producers, etc. What hosting do you suggest, because audio files can take a lot of storage.

Thanks

You have a lot of questions there @crashy.

Start with the Audio module, and either the Foxycart module (if you want to take a cut of the sale price) or the Paypal module if all the profits go to the seller. and also checkout perhaps the projam skin from the demos:

Yes.

What the front page looks like depends on what skin your using, again, see the demos.

There is a big thread on recommended hosting here:

"Jamroom Recommended Hosting"

Or if you don't want to read about it and just want to go there then this link:

Welcome to the forums.

If you want to see the flow of a purchase, then check out this page (scroll down a bit):

"The Flows of a purchase in Foxycart"

Ok thank you I will check links you posted. It would be cool also to have paypal adaptive and commission sale.

You can do that, but its via the FoxyCart module. Foxycart can accept about 80 different payment processors, including paypal.

The down-side of that is foxycart charge $15/month for their service. So you would need to figure out if your site is going to make more than that selling before deciding on using that.

With foxycart you can also sell subscriptions. So it will depend on what your doing.
