    I've got a need to create a site that allows you to put up audio, video and organize them, rate and vote them, etc. It also should have some additional stuff you'd expect to find on a social networking type script like a user blog and calendar or events list. Surprised there isn't so much that is good to choose. I don't think WP or Joomla modules will be good enough and there is so much of a pain for users to manage with back end that it doesn't make sense.

    Maybe I'm missing a few but these are what I reviewed:

    Php fox - not a good solution
    socialengine - very expensive. does nothing really well and looks like it's on its last legs.
    mediascript - pretty good but no blog. just audio video and nothing else.

    Any other suggestions guys?

    It's since 2009 that I don't play with Joomla but I built something similar with it and it was working exactly with all you need. Now, I remember also that phpDolphin was free, now it cost $40 - http://phpdolphin.com/demos

    If you don't want to spend the $40, you may try Elgg! That have been working too for tons of my clients that had very tight budget and wanted to pay just for customization and hosting... http://elgg.org/features.php

    What do you think?

    Jamroom is social network for bands to showcase their work, core is free but you have to buy modules. Also, you can use free tool like elgg, for building music website but it is not out of the box solution, it has module for playing uploaded audio files - Zaudio.

    SocialEngine & PhpFox are 2 of the best social network's scripts .

    but if it is very expensive for you; you can use buddypress. it is free & very customizable.

    You can use other scripts, just test them:
    EasySocial (for joomla)
    Face Press (for wordpress)
    Sharetronix
    MediaFans
    PHPDolphin
    Sngine
    The Social System
    Ucenter Home
    Oxwall


    Good luck
