hello

first things first: have you installed and enabled KEITHPLAYER plugin for music collection? it is included on the distribution and can also be downloaded on our downloads area.

if you already had this, then I will guide you step by step galdly

oh, by the way, you can search through the forum, I believe there are many threads about this. Even a user submited a tutorial video on how to add songs and make it work!!! search for it!

Hi
Thanks! I have Keithplayer enabled and used FTP to upload songs to the /songs folder. I also did the Deplayer thing and then disabled it.
But let me try and find the video tutorial first.....ok...scratching aorund again!
I will most probably take you up on the offer!
Cheers !!!

Well I seem to be making progress, but the problem is this:

We are compiling a compilation album of music. This album features a number of different artists.

I want to be able to assign multiple artists to an album.

The url is http://www.voicesofthesole.com/vos">http://www.voicesofthesole.com/vos (this is the Joomla version) or http://www.voicesofthesole.com (this is the old version)

I also don't seem to be able to get the Keithplayer to play. It id enabled.

Any helpers would be welcome.

Thanks
:woohoo:

you can't directly assign multiple artists to an album, but to the songs directly. in fact, an album is not by multiple artists itself... but it contains SONGS by different artists. So you can asign different artist on every song inside each album. Take a look at this article:

as I see in your site, songs dont play just because you dont uploaded them using MC. be sure your SONGS folder is created and writable (and readable), and on the SONG backend form you have two options:

1 - upload directly the file using the input file field or...
2 - if you already the file (by FTP, for instance), just type the name of the file on the field for this (type the name EXACTLY as it is!!), including the extension (".mp3")

you should have no problem...

Hey Germi!
The penny has dropped, the eagle has landed, the rabbit found the hole and I got it at last!

Just a fun thing : When you use the MC file upload it changes the song title (file) and replaces CAPS with lowercase in the backend. So then it does not find the file! That had me going for awhile! I renamed the backend to match the actual file in the /songs and all good now!

Thanks for your help!!!
Cheers
:side: :woohoo:

jejeje

yes it does, it is automatilcy done by MC to avoid have song names with blank spaces and "strange" characters. so yes, if you use the uploader, it changes the file name

ok, i have not got a clue

can someone guide me through this please.

I have installed MS but i can find out how to add songs to the system so that they are available for download.

Are songs uploaded via FTP software or via the component somewhere ?

Please help.........please please please

first, create an album

once the albm is created, there will be a new tab (on the backend form), called "songs". click on it and add as many songs as you want

once the songs have been created, there will appear a new button next to each song, called "edit". click on it to enter the song form, where you can upload the MP3 file
