Artistography

Allows you to organize music, pictures/images, and videos on an artist page. The artist page has jQuery-UI style tabs, and polls tags on posts for the artist’s name and then files them into the Related Posts tab. It utilizes soundmanager2 and displays free songs on a player on the website. Recommended for use with Advanced AJAX Page Loader. This is a constant work in progress, and is evolving into an incredible plugin for musicians or record labels.

Uses for FTP and file browsing capability: * http://sourceforge.net/projects/encode-explorer/ (version 6.3) * http://sourceforge.net/projects/zupload/
