band sites

Hoping to use WPMU + S2Member to create a music site where bands would pay to have their own subsite.

Bands would be charged monthly via paypal to keep their site up and available. Two levels of membership if possible.

What can you tell me about the capabilities of S2Member for this kind of project?

Thank you for your inquiry.

From my experience with s2Member freelance work, as well as my work with s2Member support, I can tell you that s2Member provides a very good basis for running a band website. I will note that s2Member does not come with a Profile system, so if you’re hoping to have your Users mingle on your site you’ll want to install BuddyPress with s2Member.

s2Member has a file downloads system that works with .mp3 and other audio file types, as well as native support for JW Player, which will allow you to have your Users play these files. You can sell access to download links to specific songs or albums and limit the number of files a User can download during a specific amount of time.
