***Please don't try to pull a bait and switch. Quote me your true price.*** This is the third iteration of this project that I've posted to Freelancer. My ideas have evolved as I thought it through, and this time I think I have a workable plan. I'm a media activist. I record audio from various talks, panels, events, etc, and upload it to a "media interchange site" called radio4all. Via that site (r4a), radio stations can browse and download my audio (for free), and that of other content producers, and broadcast it. So far, so good. But I ask that the stations notify me if they broadcast my audio, and less than 1% comply with this. So I've decided to move on, and I plan to start my own version of r4a, exclusively featuring my content. That's where Freelancer comes in. Key Features Wanted: I will upload audio content, and it must appear on the homepage of the site, arranged in chronological order, most recent at the top. The content must be searchable by various criteria...subject, presenter(s), keywords, date, etc. Anyone, including non-members can see the list of available audio, but the download buttons will not be visible to non-members. Stations must create a member account in order to download audio. If they are logged in, they will see the download buttons. Download links will be sent to the station's email address of record, be unique to each station, and be valid for 30 minutes and up to two download attempts. I want to be able to change these parameters via a simple and easily accessible back end. When a station clicks the download button, they must see a message stating a link has been sent to their email address, and that it is valid for x minutes and up to x download attempts. The message must state the exact email address the link was sent to. Stations must complete a membership application form stating their radio station's call letters, their name, and their email address. I need to be able to ban members who I believe are entering false data, for example not telling me their true radio station call letters. Their emails should be added to a "Banned" list, and the website needs to be able to check the list. I need to be able to manually add or remove emails to/from the Banned list. The database must list which radio station downloaded which content, when, and how many times. There is no need for stations to notify me of their intention to use my audio on their stations. I can infer this from the database, and I don't need to know the exact broadcast date and time. I want to keep this process as frictionless as possible for the stations. The membership application must include a form stating something like the following: TERMS OF SERVICE 1. By downloading this audio, I agree and acknowledge that it is solely my responsibility to ensure my uses of it comply with all FCC regulations. 2. I agree not to repost any audio sourced from [login to view URL] in raw form to any media interchange site (for example [login to view URL] or similar sites), or any media aggregation site. I understand that I may use such audio in a finished form, for example incorporated into a podcast or radio show intended for the end listener. Any such uses must properly attribute the audio source as essentialdissent.net. 3. I agree that all my uses will be non-commercial. 4. I agree that the administrator of [login to view URL] may add my email address to their notification list, which will alert me when new content is posted to the site. I can opt out of this list at any time by closing my [login to view URL] account. I need an easy and binding way to tell members I've updated the terms of service. I'd like to be able to consider allowing other producers to list their content on my site, so there should be a mechanism for this...unless building this in raises my cost significantly. The member email list must integrate with some email service such as Mail Chimp, and automatically notify members of new content. I may want to limit outgoing notification emails to one per day, regardless of the number of new postings to the site. The emails must be sent automatically, and include the metadata necessary to attract the interest of the radio stations. The site must be secure. I want to be able to add Google ads, and links to a webring service, and/or other links. Stations must be able to contact me with any questions or concerns. There will no doubt be other things to be added as the project develops. I researched this project using Microsoft Copilot, but in the interest of keeping this listing uncluttered I won't show all of its text here. The basic elements are Wordpress, Member Press (?), WP-Members plugin, Power Automate, Azure Blob storage + SAS links(?), and an email service. But I know very little about this stuff, so I may be overlooking something. I can send the full text generated by Copilot upon request. I'm not sure if Power Automate needs to be part of this project. If there are features that only it can provide, then yes. I'd like some sort of protection against excessive downloading by malicious actors. Please don't inundate me with AI generated proposals. Instead, show me that you've given this project some thought, and suggest one or more improvements or ideas that I, an amateur, would never think of. This is how you will make your service and skills valuable to me. I won't consider the project complete until the website is up and running smoothly with no issues or glitches. Thank you. PS: If you know of an off-the-shelf solution, I'm interested.

I can help with this, I will build your media interchange site on WordPress — member-gated downloads with expiring unique links, a searchable audio catalog, banned list management, and Mailchimp integration for daily new-content digests. One suggestion: instead of emailing download links, I will generate server-side tokenized URLs that expire after your configured time/attempts. This avoids email delivery delays and lets stations download instantly upon clicking — while still logging every action to your tracking database. Questions: 1) Do you already have hosting and a domain, or do you need guidance on setup? 2) Roughly how many audio files will launch with the site — dozens or hundreds? Send me a message and we can go over the details. Best regards, Kamran

Hi there, The real issue here isn’t just hosting audio, it’s creating a frictionless system for legitimate stations while quietly filtering out misuse, weak signups, and untrackable downloads. I’ve read your workflow closely, and your plan is workable. I’d build this as a WordPress-based platform with a custom member/download layer: searchable audio archive, member-only download access, expiring email links, station-level download logging, banned-email controls, TOS acceptance/version tracking, and Mailchimp-based new-content alerts. For secure delivery, I’d strongly recommend storing audio outside WordPress media, using cloud storage with time-limited signed links, so downloads stay controlled, scalable, and easier to audit. One improvement you may not have considered: require re-acceptance whenever Terms are updated, and block further downloads until accepted. Another smart layer is an approval queue for first-time station accounts, which will reduce fake registrations without adding friction later. I’ve built custom WordPress systems, API/email integrations, secure access flows, and admin-friendly backends, so the goal here would be a stable site you can actually manage without wrestling with plugins. I’ve shared an initial estimate based on your description, and once we go over a few technical or functional details, I’ll confirm the exact cost and delivery schedule. A realistic first phase is 14 days for the core system, followed by launch testing and refinement. Wou

Hi, I read your project carefully, and I agree this should be built around frictionless station downloads, reliable tracking, and controlled access rather than a generic membership site. I can build this as a secure WordPress based media library with custom audio posts, searchable metadata, member applications, hidden download buttons for guests, and unique expiring email links per station. Each link can be limited by time and download count, with those settings editable from the admin panel. I will also add a download log showing station, content, timestamp, attempts, and email used. One improvement I suggest is a forced Terms re-acceptance system. When you update the terms, existing members cannot request new download links until they accept the latest version, and the database stores the accepted version, IP, and timestamp. I would also recommend storing audio in protected cloud storage with signed expiring links instead of public WordPress uploads, so files cannot be shared permanently. For email, I can integrate Mailchimp or similar and support digest style notifications, such as one email per day for new uploads. The site can also include banned email controls, producer-ready structure for future expansion, Google ads, contact forms, and security hardening. I would be grateful for the opportunity to build this thoughtfully and will gladly accept any feedback you may have. Best, Justin

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ✅Hi there, hope you are doing well! I have developed similar secure media sharing platforms where content was chronologically displayed and access-controlled based on membership, enabling easy browsing and controlled downloads. From my experience, the most important part of completing this project successfully is creating a robust, user-friendly membership and download management system that ensures secure, time-limited access. Approach: ⭕ I will design and implement a WordPress site integrated with Member Press or WP-Members for membership management. ⭕ Develop a custom backend to generate unique, timed download links with usage limits and email delivery. ⭕ Implement a searchable audio catalog with filtering by subject, presenter, keywords, and date. ⭕ Create admin features for banning users, managing bans, and overseeing membership applications. ⭕ Integrate with an email service like MailChimp for newsletters and new content alerts with rate limiting. ⭕ Ensure site security with best practices and prepare for Google Ads and webring/link integrations. ⭕ Include a clear, binding Terms of Service update mechanism and a contact form for questions. ❓ Could you please clarify if you prefer the integration with Azure Blob storage or would you consider other storage options? I'm confident I can deliver a secure, scalable, and smooth-running media interchange site tailored precisely to your needs. Looking forward to contributing to this impactful project. Best regards,

I will not try to pull a bait and switch on your quote, as I understand the frustration of having to post this project multiple times just to get a straight answer. Based on your r4a alternative, the core of this build is not just a website but a tracking system that trades email access for your audio content. To solve the lack of attribution, I will build a secure delivery flow where a station's click triggers a unique hash sent to their verified email. We can manage the 30-minute window and download limits through a simple database check before the file serves. For the banned list, we will implement a validation layer that cross-references station email addresses against your manual blacklist at the point of login. I recently built a deterministic engine for a data-driven system where auditability was the main focus, which mirrors the tracking you need for station downloads. We will ensure the Mailchimp integration is automated so you do not have to manually sync your membership list for new content alerts. One quick thing: Do you prefer a custom-coded solution for the unique download link logic, or a modified CMS like WordPress with a membership and digital delivery plugin? Knowing this helps me give you a real number, not a guess. Rajesh

Your latest direction honestly makes much more sense than relying on stations to self-report usage. I’d keep the MVP lean and avoid overcomplicating it with heavy Azure/Microsoft layers early on. A structured WordPress build with custom logic can handle this cleanly: member approvals/banning, expiring tokenized download links, download tracking, Mailchimp notifications, and Terms-of-Service reacceptance when updated. One thing I’d strongly suggest is adding quiet verification scoring to flag suspicious station accounts automatically instead of blocking users aggressively. Happy to discuss the development structure and architecture further before actual build work starts.. Thank you

Hello I read your project description carefully and I’m confident I can build a secure, user-friendly audio sharing site tailored exactly to your needs. I’d create a WordPress-based platform using MemberPress for robust membership control, integrated with Azure Blob storage for scalable, secure audio hosting and SAS links to generate time-limited, unique download URLs. The backend will let you easily manage banned users, download limits, and terms of service updates with member consent tracking. For email notifications, I’d integrate MailChimp with automated daily digests to keep members informed without spamming. Plus, I’ll ensure all downloads are logged with detailed analytics so you know who accessed what and when. To improve user experience, I suggest adding real-time search filters by presenter and topic plus an admin dashboard to monitor site activity. I have extensive experience in WordPress development, cloud storage integration, and email marketing automation—skills that fit perfectly here. I’m ready to dedicate 8+ hours daily to get this running smoothly ASAP. Looking forward to discussing how we can make this site both powerful and simple for your audience. Best regards, AbdulHamid

Hi there, I’ve read the workflow carefully, and one improvement I’d suggest is using expiring, token-based download links tied to each station account rather than exposing direct file URLs. That gives you proper tracking, download limits, expiry control, and better protection for your audio files. I can build this as a WordPress-based media membership platform where you upload audio, publish it chronologically, allow public browsing/search, and show download access only to approved logged-in stations. The system can include station applications, terms acceptance, banned-email handling, download logs, configurable expiry/download limits, Mailchimp notifications, contact forms, and admin controls. For storage, I’d recommend keeping large audio files outside normal WordPress uploads, using protected storage or signed links so files remain secure and traceable. We can also structure it so future producers can be added later without rebuilding the whole platform. As an added value, I’ll include a free technical workflow document showing the membership flow, secure download logic, email notification process, and future producer expansion path before implementation starts.
