sorry guys for posting this here but i do have questions and custom work requirements. YOur Custom service form is not working and not seem to be getting my request through, hence the reason i post here. ok here goes:

Hi guys,

great stuff you have here, I am looking to purchase your module to use on a joomla site i am helping a friend put together as he is a starving artist :-) . He likes the module and i have told him that we need to get it but i have a couple of questions to know if this will quite do what we want it to do and if not, what it will take to make some custom updates to the module to work the way we want it to out the box. We want it to work like what we see here at this site: http://www.treysongz.com/album/ready/

Can Joomla Music Solution do this out the box? can it be configured to be like this out of the box? without all the indexing and searching etc? just display the album view with information etc based on settings?

Indeed I can update this site I am doing for him and put some code in a custom module to display the album art and data and review information at the top etc, and put a playlist at the bottom to mimic what was done on this site, but i don't want to do that since your software come with many of those things integrated anyway, and it does it well. In addition to the above question, i have the below question\\request for custom work if not contained out of the box, and could you tell me what the estimation would be like to make the updates needed if not already supported?

1. Can music Collection be customized to play the songs in the same window as seen on the example site (url above) without opening up a new page with the lyrics, music or video player when you click on the song title? i know it does this when you click on the PLAY icon.

2. Does JMS have more icons or is it just (PLAY, download, add video)? do these icons have options to show or not? can they be customized to do something out the box? What we want is, rather than having to click on the title (which is not self explanatory to the user) to show the lyrics or video or player to play it in another content area, if the icons are not optionally customizable, can we add the following information/icon to each track just like in the example? either as an icon or written out?::

A} Information icon (i) like in the example site, explicitly indicating by labeling like they have, saying DETAILS, LYRICS & MUSIC VIDEO. We want to be able to add this label to each line of song as not all songs may have a video to it, so it needs to be customizable...so maybe a field in the backend management that will allow this. Clicking on this, should then go to the new page that you currently activate by the clicking on the song title.. and the song title should do same function as the PLAY button icon. just play the song and not open a new page. The new page should be when you click on the more information icon..then they can get the lyrics and video etc...

B} A "buy track/ringtone label or button, just like in the example. Customizable to iTunes, Amazonmp3, Rhapsody, ringtone carrier or whatever url store, even the artist store. Also a buy album icon and maybe a launch external player icon (i think you have this out of the box)


3. Just like in the example, can we customize to say what track is currently playing? like the example shows the album cover, the title and says NOw Playing "blah blah blah"...I want it exactly like that. So adding some extra code should do the trick

4. Is the indexing at the top optional? with the whole search etc? can we turn it off? as you know, i want to use this application specifically for this artist and not on a general music store site, so there wont be any point to this. As you can see what we are going for from the example pointed out, but we do want this function to still be there if needed in the future, fi this is not an optional feature out of the box, can we make it optional;?

5. I know songs are grouped into albums, probably categorized but as you can see, from what we want, we want to load a music page from and have it display the latest album already open for the user to see. In the case of artist has a multiple albums, we want to load the page with the latest but alternatively also have the subsequent albums with collapsed view underneath like a vertical accordion. So on-load of the page, the latest album will the on display in the top accordion and subsequent older albums underneath to follow, so if someone clicks the second or 3rd older album, it will load all the information accordingly and you can play etc..would this be possible? its a nice to have if it wont break our bank, but the most important are the request above (if this will take more time to do, we can skip it as i can easily create other albums as a menu item and display it on the right module as a menu to load the pages subsequently)

I am sure some of the things i mentioned above will probably end up in upgrades to come as they appear to be a no brainer to me but cant wait till then.

Thanks for your time and hope to hear from you soon. PS. i have also included image of the example site should in case you cant get to it.
