I just posted this and then noticed your topic:

How hard would it be to duplicate tidypics and modify it to handle audio files? My goal is to have a module for audio files that has an interface that is as close as possible to tidypics. User would create an album just like in tidypics, then add audio files to album, maybe even with artwork. Albums and files could then display the same as tidypics (thumbnail and audio file name instead of image file name). Then, when user went to play a file, artwork and/or player would display and play file. I know there are other audio players, but I really like the interface and display of tidypics and want my audio and image modules to match functionally and visually. I also do not want users to have to upload files with one module (file uploader) then use another to play. Plus, I think it would be a popular module.

I can copy and paste code, but there is no way I could write this... anyone interested or have advice on how to get this done (assuming it can be done)??

Thanks!
