-Complet separation of programming logic and content display. Easily change the look and feel of the views.
I've used this component in two web projects so far and can't be more satisfied with both the product quality and support, both worth every penny.
This is a must for music communities, end users love the layout (great by default and customizable) and the possibility of interacting with social plugins and creating their own playlists.
The component is full of features, these are the ones I like the most:
- Great looking, customizable music collection layout and modules.
- HTML5 player, compatible with mobile devices.
- Not just songs in the album, but reviews, comments, videos, lyrics, chords and more!
- Advanced Statistics
- Integration with both Community Builder and Jomsocial
- Playlists, which users can save and share!
- Great support!!
Furthermore, you can contact the Chief Developer, Germinal Champs, to get any advanced/specific/unique modification you may need for your site (in a rare case that it's not already included out-of-the-box) via their Custom Service. I've done so and can't be happier with the speed, business alignment and results!
To sum up: a must for music communities, so great that by itself is a strong reason for choosing Joomla.
Long live Music Collection :)

Very flexible component. A lot of flexible modules. I've seen unbeliveble sites with Music Collection.
And the most important thing:
Great support! Yes, I'm impressed about support.
Maybe I have some experience, but still, I enjoyed it.

Having purchased this very capable extension, I quickly realised that certain modifications would be needed for the particular nature of what we needed to do. Speaking with Germinal, the developer, we found him very helpful and responsive to our requests. He quickly made the changes our installation required, and accommodated the various further changes our client requested, professionally, successfully, and always with good spirit and a willing attitude. Highly recommended! Robert Barker, Quest Graphics
Wanted to take the time out to give credit to this great product and the support that comes with it. This product allowed me to not only add music to my website with a purposeful, intelligent and very user friendly interface but it also comes with many configurable and intelligent modules covering things like statistics for current song or for all songs....and so many different ways to advertise your artists or you can use one a website with one artist and monetize your website with options to sell songs or entire albums.....and lastly but not leastly...This developer stands by his work..you can expect quick and enthusiastic support. Thanks for this rare and powerful contribution to the joomla community.
Sincerely, I don't really know where to begin with how great this extension is and how useful it is for my site. I run an online independent art and talent community and the foundation of it is split about 50/50 between Music Collection and Jomsocial. Music Collection provides a simple, very easily modified means of promoting and distributing music created by our artists. Germi, the developer is responsive in the forums (and via email) any time a customer (like myself) runs into an issue, even when creating custom modifications. The one thing the component lacks is "native" commercial (to sell music) capabilities however, all songs/albums can be easily linked to purchase pages from within the component. I, however, am working on adding music sell options directly to Music Collection and the structure of the extension make that quite possible. I would recommend this software 100% to anyone wishing to run a Joomla-based music portal.
This is by far the best Music Management System for Joomla and I like to say that very loud :-). Easy to install, easy to use, and it works! In fact, it works beyond my imagination. I have being using music collection for nearly 2years for Artists promotions. The features are sensational, value for money, support has been top notch. Simply put, this is a great product, offered by a company that practices a level of service rarely seen today. Thank you!
This extension is exceptional, highly configurable, simple to use and the customer service is outstanding. Our team members have varying experience levels with Joomla extensions but even the most novice users have found using this extension easy. We also required a few customisations for added functionality and the developer has been first class. Response times have generally been within 24 hours and the customisations are usually complete within a few days - which is great considering we are located on the other side of the world in Australia.
Our site is designed to showcase our Production Music library and allow registered members to easily listen to and download tracks. We have thousands of tracks and hundreds of albums and this software is perfect for our needs. In fact it can do a lot more than we will ever need. Absolutely worth the money and the cost of customisations was very reasonable.
If you have a music site and are thinking about which extension will be best for your needs. Stop looking. This is it.

I started using Music Collection a little over 2 years ago as a complete noob to Joomla and in fact, HTML, PHP, MySQL & Javascript.
Speaking as a beginner, it was dead simple to install and get up and running with no issues! This has been largely due to good documentation & well developed software with an intuitive and logical user/admin interface. Unfortunately, this could not be said about all of the extensions I use on my site.
The only time I've ever really needed help to do anything inside MC, has been a matter of customising it as opposed to having any issues. On that note, the MC forums are incredibly active with lots of user input as well as awesome help from Germi (Mr. Music Collection) whenever required. Furthermore, Germi has always gone the extra mile to help with queries relating to customising the component/modules to suit my needs - despite this being outside of the scope of traditional support!!!
Over the course of the last 2 years I've become quite proficient in Joomla, custom coding and alike which can be attributed to the unparalleled level of support!
Joomla Music Collection is QUITE SIMPLY the ONLY media manager you'll ever need to manage music and video inside your Joomla community - however large or small!
Best of all, you don't need to break the bank to get it!
To sum up, MC is;
Robust, Well-developed, Well-supported, Highly-customisable & EASY TO USE!!!
Want to serve music & video in your site? Look no further than Music Collection!

First of all i needed a solution for a component that used html5 audio players. I found it here.
Then ever since i have had any problems or hurdles difficult to jump, the jms team have been overwhelmingly helpful!
I actually emailed them saying "i wish the whole world was full of helpful people like yourselves!"

We did a lot of research, compared many products, and even tested a few, but none really compare to the features available in Music Collection. It is by far the most comprehensive product of its kind out there that we could find, especially for the money. It also allows for the addition of items through the front-end, which many extension do not.
We had some customization work done to adjust the layout to fit our specific needs, and the developer was very professional, created exactly what we needed, and the cost was reasonable.
There is documentation available on the developer's site and an active forum, which helped us out on several occasions. The developer is friendly and provides assistance as soon as possible. If you are using the extension "out of the box," no programming knowledge is necessary and it should only take a few minutes to get your extension up and running, otherwise it is helpful to have some experience/understanding of the basics used in most Joomla extensions (PHP, Javascript, CSS, etc).

I did a lot of research before buying "Music Collection", which seemed at that time to be the most complete Joomla music extension.
I use Music Collection since 1 year now and I can confirm that it meets my needs perfectly!
The amount of modules and plugins and their configuration flexibility (features + css) offer a real advantage for customizing your music site to fit your needs.
In addition to having a high quality product, you can count on a 5 stars support service. The architect behind this extension also offers a customization service that makes customization options unlimited.
Thanks Germi for that great extension!

Whether you have one artist or a whole bunch of artists that you are working with on your site, this is the player for you. There are just so many different options and layouts. Plus, it is user friendly, not complicated at all. The Facebook plugin is an especially nice touch. Also, their customer service is quick and very professional. I highly recommend this player. You can check out what I did with it at www.faulkbrosmusic.com, the site is down right now, but I should have it up and running by the end of the week. Thank You Music Collection for making my site bettter!!
We did a lot of Research when were looking for music tool that would work well with our project, tested other components and finally found what I this one. The system offers a lot out of the box and it's very easy to get a music system up and running in no time. Price/quality is good as well.
This product has definatley presented it self-well, it has grown and updated itself quite rapdily. We started with version 2.0, nowwithin a year they are at version 2.3. Not to mention, with mobile technology on the rise, the whole HMTL 5 upgrade has been a great advancement.

This Music Component can handle thousands of albums and functions brilliantly to our sites needs.
Thankfully we came across Joomla Music Solutions, that has everything and more of what was needed, it's truly an outstanding component.
The installation process was very simple to set up, and using the component is easy for all our staff to work with.
For the artist's that come to our site, they can easily upload there music and create their own detailed profile that showcases all their music professionally to the public.
Music Collection is always evolving and I really love the latest update that has the ability to create an album automatically in seconds without having to type a single track name.
Thank you so much.

This extension was most useful to us ,since we are developing a commercial music site in which customers can search for instrumental music based on ,moods,regions,styles etc.
It was easy to integrate,and the support and custom
service was very good.

A great component which has a lot to offer. The backend and frontend have really nice layouts, with lots of options, while being easy to setup. There are some really neat plugins and modules that come along also. The developer is easy to communicate with and offers great quick support. It is also nice to see developers that offer custom service.
I've been waiting for another directory app (rhymes with SOBI2) for years to do something similar to this but to my amazement this app has been developed. And I didn't need to tweak it to get it to do what I want. It works right out of the box. I did have a couple SEO issues & support was very responsive & helpful. Saved me hours in time & money!
