  I need help installing this module. I am not very experianced in postnuke, so the install.txt file given with the module is to complicated. Does someone have a simpler version? or easy step by step?

  paste the steps here, maybe with an asterisk and a note like **what's this mean? next to some
  General:
  To install a module
  FTP the files to yoursite under the public_html/modules/ directory
  FTP programs are free and plentiful on the web. Hotfiles.com is ZDnet's "free" section.
  Then you login to your site.
  Click Administration (newpage)then modules(newpage) click regenerate(newpage) it will list them. Look for the name of the module you just FTP'd to your site. On the right hand side is a column that says active, deactivate, delete, initialise...whatever. You'll have to click "initialise" the page will refresh and then you click activate.
  Does it mention permissions in the install.txt file?
  For permissions, in my FTP program, I right click on a file and then check off boxes. I think a standard file is 664 or 666. I check off the boxes to change it to 777 or whatever is asked.

  CHMOD your "band_photos", it's sub folder "thumb", and the "mp3" folder to 777 OR IT WILL NOT UPLOAD. --------- OK!
  
  GD Libraries MUST be installed and accessable by webserver for image upload to work..(jpg only) --------- What does this mean?
  
  register_globals, magic_quotes_gpc, and file_uploads MUST be turned on in your php.ini file. ---------- How do you do this?
  
  
  
  find this line in your php.ini:
  ; Maximum allowed size for uploaded files.
  upload_max_filesize = 2M ---------- How do you do this?
  
  IT MUST BE HIGHER THAN THE MAX UPLOAD SIZE SET IN VARS.PHP
  
  ; Maximum allowed size for uploaded files.
  upload_max_filesize = 7M --------- How do you do this?

  PHP ini is probably maintained by your host NOT you. I would write support@yourhostcompany.com and ask them to do this(paste this in the email)
  
  I can't tell you exactly how to CHMOD since I don't know what FTP program you use. In many it's just a right click. Pull down the menus, it might be there listed as "permissions" or "chmod". Last, Click on help (in your FTP program) and search for permissions.
  Anyhow, you uploaded this module probably to
  public_html
  ///modules
  /////ZMP3ree
  ////////mp3s
  ////////bandphotos(off the same "branch" in "tree" as mp3s)
  //////////thumb
  They're directories. Ya click once to highlight them then CHMOD however your FTP program tells you to. Deep breath, this is oh so easy you just need to figure out how the program you use changes permissions.
  I'll try and fetch ya a link
  Note:Hosting MP3s is gigantic bandwidth and will bog down your server.

  Similar to what I said about right clicking

  PHP.ini is a big deal, back it up first! Easiest way is to rename the file phpbackup.ini. Then upload the new one.
  http://support.powweb.com/index.php?category=PHP/MySQL&topic_id=57
  Above article says it's located in htdocs folder when you connect with your FTP program
  Good description of what a php.ini file is
