Pre Configured Albums For Media On Member Sign-up. #45

[In less than a paragraph, how does the feature work?]

This feature would allow an admin to pre determine album creation for a user on 
sign-up. An admin could limit the creation of further albums by a user also, 
only giving the user the albums that the admin wants to tailor for his site.

e.g A site may require a user to be able to upload 3 photos of themselves to 
their profile, one video and one mp3 track.

This feature would create these albums automatically on sign-up, leaving the 
user just the single task of uploading files, rather than creating and 
configuring albums.

[Why is this feature necessary? What shortcoming does it fix?]

Site admins can then standardise all user uploads so that EVERY user has THE 
SAME number of albums in their profile, each with a specific use. The user 
doesn't need to have to create albums themselves and only has to deal with the 
simple task of uploading. No further albums can be created by the user so the 
admin knows that his site is only going to have a finite number of media 
uploads and can manage the server accordingly.

[Is this feature relevant to many different kinds of websites? Explain
why?]

This could be adopted on ALL sites I expect. Dating sites may wish clients to 
be able to upload 3 photos and a video intro, modeling sites may wish the same, 
job boards could use this feature. The scope is endless.

This feature takes all of the unknown out of using this plugin. Admins know 
exactly what type of media will be uploaded and to where, taking any confusion 
out of the process for site members who are not tech savvy.
