Music Player lost to Ning Plus - Any Suggestions

[Scott Bishop]

Once you pay for Ning Mini or Plus you will loose your music player.
Does anyone no of a good music player to embed on the Ning site front page (either the right or left side columns)?
If you reply with one that's on your site please leave a link for it.
Thx!

Hi, P. Smith. It's extremely rare for an NC to submit more than one ticket per month. Actually, the average is well below 1.

amilla: We're not running any ads anymore. That is all in your hands. You should run some ads. Try it out. You might actually make money.

[P. Smith]

That's true. I did have one month were I had several problems crop up on the site. Right now all I have a new dashboard but no new textbox icon to add them to my Home page. I've hit road block after road block on the plan and billing. Jenny just emailed me about a billing problem and she had different information than I'm getting on NC site. It's all so confusing that frustrating is building to a point to just say the heck with it all.

I guess it's very difficult for some folks to understand what i mean.

I am not asking for more things.

I am saying about the same number of functions but with the freedom to choose the functions that we want, according to our needs.

@Eric Suesz
I will propably buy the pro plan in the future, but until to make money from ads i have to be apologized to my members for the lost of their music creations. That can not be changed.

I'll be publishing a blog post about some other music player options today or tomorrow. Hope you can find a substitute in that post. Good luck!

Thanks, I am waiting for more...

There is a budget gap between Plus and Pro for most of NCs.

I would like to suggest an option like this:

Ning Plus Plan +

1) Add $5/month for music player
2) Add $5/month for video direct upload
3) ............... and so on.

Thanks.

Sorry I ment there is no way we can afford the Pro fees not the Plus fees which we have already paid but which I may have to ask for back if we have to move to get a music player.

@KWKhaing I'd like to see one in between Mini and Plus also. I'm reading some groups have more than the mini maximum of members but can't afford more because of the type of members, disabled with small incomes etc.

@KWKhaing
You are 1000% right!!!

@Jaap Verduijn
Allright my friend. You are right.
Nothing from all this "tricks" has to do with pussing members for highest plans for more profits of Ning. Ning is a company of saints...

I have not picked the wrong plan my friend. I just can not afford $300 more to buy the pro plan.
What i am saying here is to choose function and to pay only for that function.

If you dont ask for something none will give it to you.

@ amilia: Understood, and you're quite right. However, Ning did give us the option of setting up shop at another platform. I know several former Ning network creators who were disheartened (some disgusted) at Ning's new set-up, and I have assisted them in choosing and setting up elsewhere. I still have people lined up trying to move their networks off of Ning, who have asked for my help.

I do understand how you feel, but I am not in the habit of persistently shopping at vendors who can not provide what I require.

In reply to Thunder X we had no choice about the plan as we have too many members for the Mini and cannot afford the Pro. I assumed the Plus would include something basic like the music player and am shocked that it does not and we really have not been given a choice. I looked at Kadoo but do not want an Rss feed for music just the music player where members can upload the music they want when they want back.

In reply to Amelia I do not think I can ask members to mail their music for the www.wix.com but thanks for the suggestion.

I will keep looking for a solution but I am now also thinking of getting our money back and leaving Ning for another platform which is more user friendly. I will ask our members what they want us to do.
