hello

if you want to use the ID3 tag reading features, this variable must be disabled.

you can change this value on the file php.ini, setting:

magic_quotes_gpc = OFF

do you have access to it?

Yes I was able to add the comment to my php.ini file.

But I would like to ask you this: When uploading a song do I have to limit the song to 30 seconds or does Music Collection has a 30 seconds limit built into it?

Just trying to get a feel for Music Collection and what I can do and can't do as I build my music system. Also I see you can add a buy button to a song but then you have to do an redirect to a payment outlet, so when will you be adding a payment option to Music Collection?


When using the ID3 tag reading features, would this pull all the info or just the basic info about a song or track. In which case I would have add whatever the ID3 tag does not get!

Just want to know how the overall component works before I start building out my music system... Can you also recommend a program that lets you edit the song length in order to stay under the 30 seconds sampling limits?


Thanks

there's no 30seconds limit built into MC.

the buy link is intended to be used as an EXTERNAL link, such as iTunes or whatever. MC does not have a buy feature built in.

ID3 will pull the info it can, mainly: artist, album, picture, genre, length, lyrics, year (all this IF AVAILABLE)

I believe you can use iTunes to crop songs to 30 seconds... but I've never actually used it.

One question... where i can find the php.ini?

sometimes it is in the ROOT of your site. others you have to create it yourself.
other times, your hosting provider will ask you to add this on the .htaccess file instead.

the best you can do is ASK your hosting provider where to add this info

You should have your host create it for you... Because if you don't put the right comment in your php.ini you can give a hacker info about your server or setup! Some say you should turn it on, while others say you should not....but just be care whatever you do. Hackers are looking for programs that need this feature to be enable!
