ROOF MUSIC - MP3-Online-Shop
Functional extension of an xt:Commerce store system
On behalf of ROOF MUSIC Schallplatten- und Verlags GmbH, eWorks has expanded the existing xt:Commerce store system to include the option of offering MP3 music downloads in the form of albums as well as individual songs for sale.
The previously existing MP3 download store, which was operated with a cooperation partner, had proved to be insufficiently flexible, so ROOF MUSIC wanted to integrate it into its own store.
The functional expansion for the download store included in detail:
Automatic download activation was implemented for the two payment methods PayPal and ClickandBuy. Once payment has been confirmed, the purchased music downloads can be made available to the customer for download as soon as possible.
Access to the music archive has been provided with access protection to make it more difficult to pass on a download link to third parties.
The administration area for creating and managing music download articles has been expanded to ensure convenient and intuitive administration. License information such as licensor, GEMA license and author categories can also be stored here.
A formatted Excel export has been implemented for the automatic creation of a GEMA statement. This reduces the administrative effort for the store operator to a minimum.
Furthermore, a preview option was programmed for store customers, which provides audio samples of individual titles.
The project was completed at the end of 2009 following integration into the existing live store. According to ROOF MUSIC, MP3 distribution has been running more than satisfactorily since then.
