you have to add SONGS to the albums. open an album, click on SONGS tab, add as many songs as you want, and when it's done, save. then open the songs and write the filename on the field for it, if you already uploaded the songs by FTP. do you know what I mean?

Hi Thanks For helping me last time. Im starting a web site. I have lots of old music, MC is working great. I want to know if there is any way to upload musis on Mc by using Smart ftp. Because I have about 200 albums I want to upload, Even if I cant post pictures its ok, Maybe I can post them in the archived section or something. Thanks for your help in advance, Im a Newbe so please try to specific, because I dont understand all the terms.

on the current version, all you can do is upload by FTP and then add the songs one by one. I know, it's a bit slow.

on version 2, and auto-scannig folder functionwill be included, so the process will be muuuuuuuuuch faster. version 2 is expected for February

Hey thanks a lot , really looking forward to it, one question would I be able to update my version to the new one, or do I have to install a whole new unit, I guess what i'm tryin to say is will mu old music stil stay?

there will be an upgrade package, you dont have to worry about anything. your old music will still stay

Hi , i have followed these instructions and it keeps telling me :file not found, does being on a shared server make any difference " i tried also putting the full path in all settings still nothing " , did i forget something ?

Thanks

hmmm.. dont know. can you post a link so I can see it?

I've been looking into your module and the auto scanning function is all I need to take the plunge! Adding songs one by one is simply too cumbersome when you have lots of albums and songs. It is now February and I persume version 2 is just around the corner? :laugh:

On another note, does the mp3 files have to reside under web root? It'll be great if I can choose other directories on the server so the files cannot be accessed without permission. Thanks!

version 2 is about just 2 weeks away

currently the files need to reside under web root, but we are working to change this precisely to avoid the files being accesses without permission

That's great news to hear!

One more thing though - I don't see a method for downloading entire album. Is this function present?

Thanks and I think I'll be joining your ranks soon once 2.0 is out! :lol:

Please see my post here - it might help you to upload albums and playlists to MC.

Hey Germi I just downloaded the upgrade, the comunity version. But i still cant figuer out how to upload the complete album, im using filezilla, Can i throw the whole album folder into the song folder? If not and i just throw all the indvidual mp3's into the song folder, then how do i get MC to read it soo i wont have to write every song name in and tell it the file name. What im trying to say is I have about 200 albums I need to upload on my server, Whats the quickest way to do it?
Thanks in advance. I know u always come through.

there's a new "folder scaning" feature.

I plan to publish an article on how to use it today, or maybe tomorrow

cheers,
Germi
