I've been looking for software so that I can launch a new type of music site, however music specific software doesnt have the same amount of feature that Oxwall has (that I require), but I can't seem to find a specific way to add a large music section to my site.

 

I suppose I could find a way to rename "videos" as "music" but would like both. I would also love the ability to host independant radio stations and also stream live music events (legally of course).

 

Has anyone got any suggestions how I can turn my Oxwall site into a music hub with the applications I require.

 

I don't mind inveting a bit of money into getting it started, but need to know before I start investing time and money; if this can actually be done.

Shane, it is possible to turn Oxwall into music platform. I am not aware of your project details, but you can always get a developer who can for example integrate already existing music platform into oxwall at Oxwall Market (http://www.oxwall.org/market/specialists).

Certainly, turning your Oxwall site into a music hub with the features you require is an exciting venture! To achieve your goals, consider the following steps:


Customization of Features: As you've mentioned, Oxwall has the features you need, but customization might be necessary. Renaming "videos" to "music" is a viable option, and you can explore additional Oxwall plugins or develop custom ones to enhance the music-specific functionalities.


Integration with Music Platforms: Consider integrating your site with popular music platforms that offer APIs. This way, you can pull in music content seamlessly. For example, you can integrate with music streaming services or utilize APIs to display artist information, album covers, and more.


Independent Radio Stations: Look into third-party services that provide embeddable players for independent radio stations. You can integrate these players into your site, offering a diverse range of music content.


Live Streaming: Explore options for integrating live streaming features. Depending on your requirements, you might need a combination of video streaming services and custom development to facilitate live music events legally.


While investing time and money, it's crucial to ensure that your vision aligns with the technical capabilities of the platform.
