• Is there a way to make a site like SoundCloud where people can upload their own music and others can listen it?

    If users have the “author” role, they can upload audio and embed their music in a post. People can comment on it. This is how WP works on its own. Isn’t that the gist of Soundcloud? Of course the default audio player isn’t as nice as soundcloud’s. You could embed another player instead. There are many possibilities for other customization, either by plugin or custom code.

    The basic functionality is there. What it looks like depends on the theme you select. One hurdle to overcome is audio files can be quite large. PHP default upload sizes can be a limitation. You’ll likely need a hosting plan where you can manage your own PHP php.ini settings.

    It’s possible. You need a front end form that collects data and uploads files; and code to accept the form data and insert the data as a post. Forum plugins do something very similar. You can likely adapt one of the forum plugins to be very similar to Soundcloud.

    Thanks a lot, by the way can you refer some plugin like that which can implement it self with buddypress?

    Try a few of the form builder plugins.

    They may not play well with buddypress, IDK. Buddypress already has its own front end form for forum posts. You may be better off customizing that, except it would likely involve some custom coding.
