Is there a limit on the size of the MP3 files that can be uploaded via "Music Collection" ? I was uploading some tracks today and had a file that was 9MB in size that never successfully uploaded. On the contrary, the other files I had ranged from 3MB to 6MB and uploaded without issue. Is there a file size limit and if so, can that size limit be modified ? Thanks.

    there is a size limit, but is not MC's, is just your PHP configuration

    go to help->system info->php information

    and check the value of the variables

    post_max_size
    or
    upload_max_filesize

    probably one of these (or both) are set to 8M

    just increase them to 16M :) (or whatever you want)

    OK. post_max_size=8MB and upload_max_filesize=20MB. Do you know "how" or "if" these values can be modified ? They are noneditable fields in going through the "Help->System Info".

    do you use Cpanel?

    the value of this variables is set in the php.ini file

    this file is usually easely accesible from the cpanel, or sometimes is in the root folder of your site
