Hi all, I have a website designed in HTML code with different languages, there is a lot of updates in audio/video/articles that I have to update each page with tables, icons, languages..... so I thought may be CMS is better for me.
I don't know much about PHP coding, but I can learn quickly. Here is what my website about: a huge collection of Audio, Videos with discription beside each file (listen, save or buy) and a lot of articles... I have also installed oscommerse for selling audio cd's.
is there a CMS out there that can hold all that in one control panel? I would like to keep my HTML design and use it as a CMS template.
thanks in advance

Did you want your users to be able to receive the media via RSS? This depends heavily on the CMS you use. Usually, when you make a page/entry in a CMS it will automatically create an RSS entry for it so people who are subscribed will remain updated as the site is updated. Yes, there is a CMS can handle it but how you want to handle the distribution of the content (and the ease in setting it up) would be a deciding factor(s). For example, ExpressionEngine has a Simple Commerce module that easily handles PayPal payments. If you use PayPal that might be a bonus for you (having everything integrated).

With so much going on you might want to look into Drupal.

I second Drupal...
They have lots of content modules which relate directly to audio/video...
The template system for Drupal is pretty easy to work with too...on a very simple level, it's just a matter of plugging in a few php snippets into an html template, though I'm sure most CMS' have matured to about that point now.

I agree, Drupal seems like it might be a great solution for you.
