The Sound Portal. Reinvented

Audio Portal Intro

Whether you want to start a sound portal site for your users to easily share and listen to tracks, or you just want a site for your music band to easily showcase it’s music and members, ZoomPortal is the perfect solution.

And if you don’t like our predefined demos, which you can install in one click, you can create virtually any site with our integrated page builder. Tons of options await to be customized in both the builder and the general portal.

Updates

For updating, you can just replace all the files from the zip with your actual ones. The only folder that needs to be kept is the upload/ folder. After files overwrite you just need to go to system check > Repair database to make sure that the database has the last version

Notice: please do not by uploading the zip in your file manager then extracting. It will cause several permission problems and all will appear broken.
