Options for a Drupal 7 based music store

I have a current music store that I would like to migrate to Drupal 7. Would Ubercart be the best solution? I am currently receiving audio directly from digital distributor via FTP with an XML file included in the folder of audio files. What would be the best way to integrate the meta data from the XML file to fill the album, artist, track, label, etc in the music store as well as the audio as file downloads (zip) and audio previews for each track.

Playlists in Drupal 7?

I'm trying to create an audio library similar to this with Drupal 7. While I've replicated a good deal of functionality using Views, Media, and jPlayer, I'm stuck on the playlist functionality. Any suggestions on how to do this in Drupal 7? Example again below:

Music Features for Drupal

In this thread the question is asked if a music distribution or separate modules is the best way to achieve turn key functionality needed for a music site. The answer, I believe, is an alternative path.

The alternative path is to abstract things out into an application layer, with Features. There is lots of info about Features on the project page (and it shares some ideas with the now defunct Patterns module), but conceptually this graphic sums it up best:

Only local images are allowed.

Having had some experience working with Features this year, I can tell you it is pretty raw. A Feature has hooks and functions to turn on and off things on your site. At its simplest, it will turn on a few modules and change a few defaults. At its most complex, it will need to manually override database variables. It's messy development and takes time. But the real beauty is that it allows developers to focus on functionality instead of technicality. It also allows independent development of features that, combined, can achieve something that looks like a distribution. And for the user, they don't need to know how it works, they just need to know what it can do.

We are lucky, since we have already identified some useful features needed for an art & music Drupal site / mobile application, and perhaps the next step is to refine and prioritize the list.

Sermon Feature

I've been messing around with the Feature module created by Development Seed for Drupal and have gotten pretty excited about it. As a result, I've released a Drupal Feature called sermon. It does what you might expect, puts together a Sermon feature to add to your drupal website. It includes all sorts of neat little bits that I'll be able to use next time I stand up a Drupal church website. I put up three this year so have had the opportunity to play with this.

How Drupal can help a site admin for a label/artist site?

Introduction

This is is intended as a place-holder for ideas on how Drupal can help a site admin in charge of a label/artist site.

In other words, as well as offering the obvious content editing capabilities I'd like to raise the question "what can Drupal do for You?" in the context of a site admin in charge of a label/artist site.

Using Aggregators/going direct using Drupal?

Discography module - in development notice

hi Guys,

I've just been comissioned to develop a discography.module for Drupal. As the name suggests, it's designed to allow site admins who manage band/artist/label sites to insert discography information into a Drupal site, without having to jump through hoops with CCK & views.

I've had enough emails from site admins, getting stuck and asking for help, to know that there would be a demand for this module. Thought I'd post a notice up here to alert the art & music group to progress.
