Will websitex5 ever add features for building an Online Store for selling audio?  en

I've been using Website X5 for awhile now.  However, I still see that as of this time, there are no features that allows us to create a website Online Store that allows us to upload MP3 files to the shop pages so that a person can listen to them in the catalog.

The Music Player Optional Object doesn't work well at all in creating an Online store, where each "item card" has a mini audio player to it along with the description of the file, price, etc.

I've seen all kinds of features added for other Online Stores for people who sell physical items or even ebooks or PDFs, where you can add images and people can expand on images before buying an item.

However, to create a website where I can sell my own instrumentals, albums, etc., doesn't seem easy at all to create, as there is no way to put a music player specifically into the catalog "item card" for each item to have its own mp3 player that plays.  This of course would also have to trigger all other MP3 players on the page to not play when one is currently playing.

Hoping you all consider putting some time into creating an Online Store template, and features in the Shop Catalog pages within Website X5 that will allow us to create a website that can sell music, audio files, and so on.

Thanks in advance.  Figured I'd try again after some months and years of suggesting this.  Lots of us musicians out there that would love to use X5 to create websites for ourselves, but X5 isn't very user friendly to us kinds of folk.  Thanks.

You can use html for an item. This way you can embed a player with a specific music-file.

This should be possible.
