The Logic Off Topic list

I want to create a web site for my own music that would work like iTunes. I need it so people 
can listen to a portion of a song and buy the song or album if they want using credit cards or 
Pay Pal etc.

I know there are places like StoresOnline.com but I'd like to look at other options like getting 
the software and doing it myself. I'm thinking of contacting the credit card companies for 
info but I thought I'd fly this past anyone who's already bought the t-shirt.

Thanks,

Peter Charlers Naugler

Hi Peter

I use wimpy player for previewing audio on my site: http://www.wimpyplayer.com/

I use Plimus for e-commerce: http://www.plimus.com

This combination works really well for my sample shop. Could easily work with music as well.

Might just be what your looking for...

Check out my site to see it in action: http://www.goldbaby.co.nz/

Hugo

Hi Hugo,

Thanks, that is just what I'm looking for. I noticed on the Wimpy site they don't 
recommend ColdFusion which is what I was thinking about. They recommend PSP. Is that 
what you use?

Cheers,
Peter

Hi Hugo,

I just went back to the Wimpy site and noticed that the Wimpy player has a built in 
ecommerce feature. Any reason why you didn't go with that?

I was recommended Plimus by a software developer. Very easy to use and trusted.

By the way, my site was created using Freeway and Comic life: 
http://www.softpress.com
http://plasq.com/

It is a great way to create a site with next to no knowledge of HTML or graphic design etc... 


Regards
Hugo

you could check out   123music store software that easyb.com is selling. you may have to google those names to be exact. I havn't launched my own store/site yet using their software but I did find them to be the only software available for the artists to do it themselves. I didn't use it because I  don't know html and am still looking into other options like a blog site   like  expressionengine.  hope this helps   -  kier

123 Music is a dope solution. I have just implemented it for our label.
Very simple and doesn't require HTML knowledge. It has a user
interface to load songs. You will however need to install it to a web
server.
This is one of the few solutions that will not take a percentage of
the sales.
