Hi,

I'm putting together a site for a musician who has hundreds of tracks and dozens of albums.

The site is mainly a library/reference - not a place for others to upload their own music, etc. I will not be using the site to sell music, instead be featuring a link to various places to purchase.

Here's some questions that I have:

1. The ability to turn off the rating/review functionality, ability for outside users to upload music, and shopping cart functionality can be easily removed or disabled. Correct?

2. I will need some tracks to be previewable (30 second clips) as well as some songs being able to be heard in their entirety. Are the music files that I upload to my joomla site through this software easily downloadable? Is their any way to protect the files from being downloaded (and distributed)?

3. Is their a way to associate more than image per album? Sometimes, I want to show the album back and/or a related graphic in addition to the album cover.

4. I also need a way to group the albums into a variety of ways. For example, maybe I want to show albums 1, 3, 4 and 5 on one page, but albums 1, 2 and 3 on another. Would I use tags to be able to display subsets of albums?

5. Finally, I will also need to pull together specific tracks from different albums. For example, this artist has a single song that has been recorded as different versions - all on different albums. Would I use a playlist to be able to display (and play) them on a single page?

Thanks in advance!
