How to Make a Site Like Playlist With Joomla!
Playlist
1. Go to the Playlist website and join as a free member. Make a note of all the features you want to include in your Joomla site.
2. Read the License and Legal issues page to familiarize yourself with how to create a music-sharing site legally.
3. Contact the performing rights organizations regarding royalties that have to be paid for music shared on your website. Examples include ASCAP, or The American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers, BMI, or Broadcast Music Inc., and SESAC.
Joomla
4. Download Joomla from their website and install it on your server. Upload it manually via FTP or via your web hosts applications installer.
5. Go to the Joomla extensions directory and type music into the search box. Download a music sharing extension like Music Collection, JMultimedia Suite or JSMusic. Check to see if the component comes with any modules or plugins and download these as well. If you want to put ads on your website like they have on Playlist, you also need to download a Google AdSense module like Nurte Google AdSense.
6. Log in to the admin back end of your Joomla website at www.yoursitename.com/administrator, or the folder you installed Joomla in, for example, www.yoursitename.com/joomla/administrator. Go to 'Extensions' in the top menu and select 'Extensions Manager' or 'Install/Uninstall,' depending on which version of Joomla you have. Use the 'Upload Package File' section to install the music extension you downloaded. If the extension does not load, check to see if you need to unzip the file first and upload the component, module or plugin separately.
7. Click on the 'Components' top menu item and select the component you just installed. Check if there are any configuration options you want to change; for example, how the music is displayed and permissions for users.
8. Upload any plugins or modules that came with the extension in the same way you installed the component. Go to 'Modules Manager' and 'Plugins Manager' to select the modules you uploaded. Check the module's options, select the template position you want the module to appear in, and select the 'Publish' or 'Enable' option to make it live on your website.
9. Go to the 'Menus' option on the top navigation bar and select 'Main Menu.' Select the 'Home' menu item in the table, click on the option to 'Change menu type,' and choose your component from the list. The main page of your website will now display the music component.
