[Web4lib] More music questions

[Thomas Bennett]

Win,Lin, or Mac.  

I haven't used any of these but they look like good candidates.

Last update looks like 06/2004 but it looks pretty full featured
http://www.zope.org/Members/gittew/MyMediaManager
See the descriptive article on MyMediaManager
http://www.zopemag.com/Issue004/Section_Articles/article_MyMediaManager.html
Looks like they are having a problem with their own WEB site right now though:
"You have contacted www.mmmanager.org. Due to technical problems with the 
internet connection the service is currently down.  We expect to be back 
online very shortly."
Looks like security/access would be per the built in Zope security.

There is also Plone4Artists Site product, see:
http://www.plone4artists.org/products
At that site is also, Plone4ArtistsPortfolio providing posdcasting, RSS feeds 
and drag-ndrop addition of content and page layout.  They suggets P4AP for 
Artists and bands to create a portfolio of themselves but as with any 
solution I take their descriptions and then say "how else can I use this?".
Currently only the site, calendar, and audio products have been released and 
as Alpha, the others are in experimental state but work is current with 
updates on the site as recent as 10/22/06.

You may want to look at other available products for Zope and Plone at

An important measure of effort in coding is the frequency with which you write 
something that doesn't actually match your mental representation of the 
problem, and have to backtrack on realizing that what you just typed won't 
actually tell the language to do what you're thinking. -Eric Raymond
