Let me first say what I'm trying to accomplish. I have a large forum of musicians. They all currently upload their songs/compositions inside of post/thread. Even though its not an ideal solution but at least people can search for them.

The question I have is this, is it possible to setup your mod in a way where you can define Genres as categories and then have people upload their songs/compositions and also include the artist name? I've been searching for something like this for quite some time but can't really find anything that suites my need. Or is there a plugin that allows to do a Thread/Post upload and also provide more details about the file being uploaded, like artist, generes etc?

Thank you very much for you time.

I think this would do what you want - as you say, you would set up the genres as categories, you would give authorised users the right to upload into these categories, and they would create entries which used the title and description fields to hold the track name and brief description. The entries are automatically tagged with the user name submitting them. You can then, if you want, create 'additional attribute' fields to hold standardised information like song length, etc. If you wanted to have the artist name as one of these fields, that is possible.

Happy to help you get started if you have problems.
