I have been advised to look into Drupal

Okay, so it is pretty clear to me that going the route of Drupal is at best, taken with caution.

So... that still brings me back to the beginning.

Need plugin

I hate that List Yo Files is almost perfect, but the bit about requiring the users to specify any directory they want to upload to is concerning to me.

jQuery chains, closures and anonymous functions in Drupal

is an example of what you can do with Drupal (drupal.js) and external JavaScript libraries (jQuery). Of course there are more advanced solutions for this http://drupal.org/project/wysiwyg, but it shows how compact and efficient the code is.

Your requirements are very specific, I dont think there will be a plugin available out of the box with upload as well as music file management features.The best way would be get that developed by a wordpress developer.
It wont cost you much and save a lot of your time.

I wont be advising drupal right now, you got to give drupal some time and attention before you can start commanding it to do things.

Drupal has excellent user / permissions management. I think the WebFM module (excellent Admin & user control for sorting, storage, allowed downloads etc.) along with 5 Star Ratings could help you with this project. Use Views to create displays and Actions & Triggers for notifications etc. Have fun!

Hi Kgun.

Almost 95% of all my websites are based on wordpress, because its easy to setup, configure and teach to clients.

you can setup a working wordpress website within a few days, complete with all the whistles.

however then I started working with Joomla, It taken almost 2 weeks just to plan out all the menus, link them to articles.

While I have recently started working with Drupal and I am very happy.

so complexity is directly connected with

1. Clients budget.
2. Requirement
3. Time constraints

I think you can make almost any site you want with Drupal. Drupal is said to be very flexible but the learning curve is steeper.

You should find some valuable resources on my Drupal subforum: http://www.oopschool.com/phpBB3/viewforum.php?f=24
