CultureLoad is online marketplace for all kinds of digital works: MP3 music songs,�audiobooks, movies, photos, texts, that are generated and provided by talents between us�for everyone. CultureLoad is culture community too. You can communicate with�CultureLoad artists and members.

I have started to realize this idea from two german guys Sao-Wen and Dominik on the beginning of 2007. There was many plans and tasks to do. Own php framework was built and corresponding MySQL database schema designed. Web shop features (shopping cart, billing system, MoneyBookers and PayPal payment systems) were implemented. The bunch of community features have been developed like user profile, friends list, private messaging, guestbook, comments tool, rating system these were also a big issue to help artists and fans to communicate with each other. We set up ffmpeg tool to convert automatically uploaded video to flash format that streamed then through Red5 server into the flash player. And one of the latest tasks was online radio station that streamed audio content of CultureLoad's musicians through Icecast server.
