if anyone relates to this and understands php, please contact me. otherwise i wiill sort this out myself. and believe me i will. we bloody need this.
It could be bigger and more convenient than that though, Mark. Ideally, while you have your own corner of thet here, with your own artists, there could be a central server that taps into your site, along with many others, all while making it appear integrated in the process. From a digital standpoint, this is very doable. The only place where it would get tricky would be with hard tangible mediums (vinyl for example) that are owned by different entities due to individual shipping costs. Still trying to wrap my head on how to get that one to work, aside from having some designated drop points where labels could send records in advance related to the frontend. But, that incurs an additional cost and bookkeeping efforts and starts to resemble the traditional distributor.

As for a PHP script you're looking for to work this, take a peak around over at "hotscripts.com" as there are a number that already exist which work well for storefront purposes.
