Hello,
I recently bought Music Collection.

I have a problem that I have my 700+ well organized songs on other server, now I want to move to joomla using your component.

What I see in the backend and there is such option that I can transfer my existing collection to new site.
Is there any possibility so that I can do
1) upload via url
2) upload via FTP
3) upload form local drive (htdoc/any folder ) or public_html/ any folder
4) any option to upload a zip file and extract in folder

further I noticed that all songs are stored in songs (or any given name) folder, there should be an option like songs are storing in relative folder names (hierarchy basis)

for example songs/myartist should contain all songs for artist name “myartis” and so on.

I suggest you add another field (where you add artist information in the backend) named “artist folder” where we can specify the relative folder name. all songs of the particular artist will be stored in given folder, the script then can scan the folder and list all the songs that can be added

I think this will be much easier for any one instead of uploading any file from local computer.
As in my case its next to impossible to download 700+ songs from my existing site and again upload manually to other server.

I am holding my current project until I get a easy solution to accomplish this target

thanks

    hello,
    about the relative hierachy, the only (current) way to do it is indicate the hierachy directly on the song file field: you upload the songs (using FTP) and then on the song you write "artistX/songY.mp3" for instance.

    how do you have your songs organized in your current server?

    it could be a temp solution but imagine doing this with all of my files?

    My songs are organized as

    Movies
    ------classis
    ----------movie name(or artist)
    ------ action
    ----------- movie name(or artist)
    Bands
    -------artists
    Pop
    -------artist

    And so on

    Do you have any plan to implement such in near future

    Thanks

    PS
    I would also suggest
    1. rating option for each song
    2. rating module to show most rated song

    hey, I forgot to tell you before:
    there's an option to take the songs from an external server. you could use this so you dont have to copy every song to the other server...

    do to that, go to plugins -> Muscol Keithplayer

    the last parameter is called "songs server". there you can write the path to the server where your songs are located

    about rating for each song: yes, I plan to add this

    and the rating module for the songs is also on the way :)

    Ok, thanks
    I am a little confused, suppose I have a scenario like this,

    I have one album

    Album – myalbum
    ------------artist – new artis
    ---------------------song 1
    ---------------------song 2
    ---------------------song 3
    ---------------------song 4

    The path on my old server (where all my songs are) www.mydomain.com/sogs/albums/myalbum/newartis
    How I will configure Keithplayer so that it displays the related 4 songs in the artist list

    in keithplayer you can only specify the server. so what you have to do is this:
    on keithplayer, "songs server" parameter, write

    www.mydomain.com/

    (include the protocol, h t t p : / / )

    the go to music collection -> parameters

    and there is a "songs path". write there the base path for all songs, I guess it is "songs"

    then you have to add the remaining relative path directly to each song... for instance, go to song 1, and you write..:

    albums/myalbum/newartist/song1.mp3

    on song 2 you write..

    albums/myalbum/newartist/song2.mp3

    etc
