if you want the same look and feel we use, you'll have to download the layouts we are using on Music Collection, wich are available here http://www.joomlamusicsolutions.com/downloads/cat_view/41-upgrades.html?lang=en for free

CD covers: as big as you can! 600x600 looks like a nice size to be.
in any case, on our site the images are shown at 450px approx.

dont worry about big images, because these are automaticly resized when showing thumbnails

Thanks Germi, I did update both the song and artist templates, however, I still do not have the Album Player and the song player as you do on your demo page. What am I missing?

mm well.. I cant see the player... probably you have the parameter "show online player" setted to "only registered", on Music Collection parameters. change it to "everybody"

take a look at the parameters, on MC's backend, to configure a lot of things

Germi

I have "show online player" set to everyone. I could PM you login credentials so that you can look at my configuration. Just need an email address.

mm then the problem must be... did you install and enabled the player??? xD

the plugin JW Player is included on the package and MUST be installed!!

Germi

I installed the mod and the plugin, the plugin is enabled.

ok, found the problem with the player but now why do I have two images of my CD on the page. ONe for the CD and one for album player????

The solution was to change the settings in the "Component Parameters" on the Menu.

yes, that's what I meaned!

you dont have "two" images: what happens is that you increased the HEIGHT of the player (on the PLUGIN parameters). set it back to 20, as it was at the beginning!!

Germi

Germi, YOU ROCK!!!!

Final question, how do I change the background color on the artist view, as you can see it doesn't look very good on my site. Which CSS file and which variable control this behavior? I would like for it to be transparent.

Beautiful!!!!!! Expect a RAVE Review on the JED, this product is amazing. I at first thought that it was going to be too much for a simple band website with only one artist, but you proved me wrong... NICE, NICE JOB!!!!

so nice to hear

that would be very kind of you (the JED review)

please let me know ANY other doubts you may have while using and configuring the software

best,
Germi
