How do I go about finding someone to write a custom plugin?
Here is the concept:
How hard would it be to modify Tidypics 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 (playlist) 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!

I went to your site and you disabled the music player album... How can I or someone test the functions to know if they want this plugin
The music player album pluggin is not disabled. only the new album creation is disabled. you can see an album already created at tools>musicalbum>all site albums
And now you can play musics in your profiles too...cool
@anduril3019, cool idea. I am new in elgg, not sure, may be you can use the "Audio Mp3 Player Widget" plugin to start with. [ http://community.elgg.org/pg/plugins/Astharoth/read/384492/aaudio-mp3-audio-player-widget ]
