Each program has their pros and cons. Drupal is extremely customizable, but takes some time to organize it and it looks more like a general website. DSpace's default settings lend themselves better to digital collections and looks more like a repository out of the box, but it hard to customize. EPrints didn't have a lot of music collections to use as examples and appears to need lots of customization to make it look good. Currently, I like Omeka the best because it has lots of metadata fields, looks good from a user perspective, and makes it easy to play sound files in the browser. Ease of use, customization, and look are all important to me in deciding which platform works best with my collection.
