Hello. We are a professional (not hobby) radio Network which uses Icecast and Centova for our radio programming. We are looking for a feature which would allow artists to upload their own music to us as well as be able to create their own profiles. The Music Collection system as a whole looks amazing BUT can it work with what we are doing with our radio network as far as being able to have artists upload to us and then be able to integrate our CentovaCast to this player and stream it?

    I should also mention we have 3 stations. Do we need 3 separate purchases of this to work with the 3 or can we use one ?

    Hello

    Music Collection is definitely a great solution for the users to be able to upload their music and have their profile. However there's no integration with CentovaCast whatsoever (I'm not familiar with it. is it a joomla extension?).

    This means that probably you would need to "transfer" any music you would want to stream from MC to your system, for use on your radio station.

    if this system you are using is on the same website (same DB connection, etc), then maybe it's possible that some kind of custom integration could be built, to "trasfer" music from MC to your system. but, again, that's not something directly possible.

    You can use MC on mutliple sites if you want, but technical support will be given to only 1 site per license. if you need multiple-sites technical support, then you will need multiple liscenses.

    Thank you for your quick replay. We have no problem with transferring tracks which are uploaded or moving information around, I just wanted to make sure we could physically grab the tracks which were uploaded to us and be able to use them as regular files. Same with the player. I'm assuming we can program the player to grab tracks from our radio stream, we just need to place the URL into it. We will be using a dedicated server for hosting both the Joomla site and the entire radio platform. Centova is a robust AutoDJ solution for professional radio stations. http://www.centova.com/
    I really want MC to be able to work for us because I love the functionality and the look of it and it seems as though it will !!

    One other question about the mobile functionality. I looked through the demo site and did not see any screenshots or any demo on how the mobile functions worked.
    Is there a list of real sites which use this extension so I an see what it looks like on a mobile device ?

    oh, yes, then you will have no problem grabbing the tracks definitely :)

    and, about the mobile: you can simply visit our demo with your mobile..! :) the layouts are responsive, so they adapt to the mobile screensize, and the player is HTML5 so it works on mobile.
