I think you need to add *.mp3, or wav or whatever extension it is , after what you have.

Jorge,

Thank you! Sounds like i'll give this a try as well. If you could, can you paste what that file name looks like for you in RD. I have this: /home/rivendell-2/rivendell/music_101/

What else am I missing?

    You have to make sure that your file name extension matches what
you setup in your dropbox. For example if your file name is any_file_name.MP3 then your dropbox extension should also be upper
    case. I have dropboxes for *.MP3 and *.mp3, *.wma, *.WMA, etc.

      However, I have noticed that when I have tried to import files
    encoded with MusicMatch, even though the file info says they are
    mp3's, Rivendell does not import them, I this case I first do a
    batch "convert"  to mp3's with audacity.

        Wayne,

        Thanks for the info.  So, I do exactly as you tell me to do
        and now I am only able to upload one song at a time.  Will not
        let me 'select all', etc.  Any thoughts?

        As for all of the intro markers, etc. we had some guy here
        write a script for Prophet-NexGen101 and should work out well
        for importing; that is, if we can upload more than 1 song at a
        time.

        -Terry

            Hi Terry,

            The easiest thing to do is setup a drop box.  If you log
            into rdadmin and
            go to edit hosts.  You'll find a drop boxes button under
            each host that
            you have.  Simply give it a path, pattern and group to
            import then drop
            all your songs in that directory.

            Depending on what Prophet can give you, you probably won't
            get all the
            intro markers etc imported with it though.  I have had
            some success
            parsing XML files that my old system provides and then
            having a program
            manipulate Rivendell's database directly to save some of
            the work but its
            quite a hacked piece of software (I didn't bother with all the
            interfaces/code comments and the like which would have
            made it easier to
            translate to different XML formats/field names).

            Regards,

            Wayne
