I love the front-end interface of Music Collection - it is a great piece of work.

I don't find the back-end as straightforward. E.g. Adding a song can take a bit of time. It would be easier to have a "Add new" button on the songs page in the admin panel rather than having to add via an album and then visit another page to edit the details!

After adding many songs and albums to Music Collection the songs were displayed from oldest to newest on album page, now when i come to add a new one it puts the new one at the top so the order doesn't really make sense.

Please please can't there be a simple "Order/arrange by" feature in the settings?

Also because I am adding things that i have had on my website before, the "added on" date isnt correct. Could there be a way to modify this?

Another issue, because i don't want to pay for the JWplayer and there aren't any other options it seems, I have turned off JW player in permissions settings but kept the plugin activated. I did this because the play button could confuse visitors. This worked fine on my music collection pages but for some reason the songs module on my home page doesn't work at all like this! I'm not sure what the issue is here and separately it would be nice if there was alternative option to JW player as it is no longer free.

Thanks for your hard work

    hello,

    thanks a lot for your suggestions!

    to modify the "added on" date, you would really have to go directly to the DB..

    you can use the JWplayer we serve for free, don't need to pay for it..

    have you tried it?

    I used to use hwdmediashare - the nice thing about it was I would put the youtube URL in and it would fetch for me all the details of the video, but then i could also straightaway set the "added on" date and it allowed me to order items based on name, date, ID, etc... It was quite easy for the admin to use but I didn't like its front-end user experience.

    I tried but with no success to use the JWplayer you serve... To be honest i just wish i knew why the module on my home page showing my most recent songs is not working but then an identical one on the music collection home page works fine when permissions are disabled for jwplayer for guests.

    Any suggestion for what i could do with adjusting the order of songs? This is really troubling me
