    I have just started making a new site with lots of ringtones i have collected for free download, but at the moment its taking ages, just to list them and I was wondering which is the best, simple one to use that possibly has hits, rating, comments for each file, and categories for each artist etc..but not too complicated, like mambo/joomla but simpler..

    any idea? thanks

    Joomla is one of the best CMS available for free; you will have to give some time to learn it and then you can use it quite easily;

    You should try phpnuke as it comes with a download or you can also try drupal with media management module :)

    I'd recommend you use Wordpress OR Joomla..Both of them are very popular and easy to use.

    I agree... those are two of the best Open Source packages around. WP is my fav. Blogging Script and Joomla is by far the best CMS I've used.

    Joomla and Wordpress.
    Yes Wordpress can be 'templated' into a awesome CMS.
    Perfect example; Techcrunch.com

    I had installed a copy of drupal.
    But I found it's only a blog and forum system,not a CMS system,right?
    Thanks

    Drupal is a multi-function CMS. It is tuned to be something of a blog and a community. However, you can customize it to become a ecommerce place, a ebay clone, a place for company wide knowledge base, etc...

    It is modular and flexible. Check out their handbook.
