When I perform the actions described below the audio file of the audio node is deleted from the server.

1. I create a new audio node and uploads an audio file.
2. After successfull creation I am retuned to the View tab of my new audio node. All is fine - I can listen to the audio file and download the file.
3. Then I press the Edit-tab. All is still fine. I dont touch anything or press any buttons.
4. The I press the View-tab. All is still fine.
5. Then I press the edit tab. Now I am presented with this message.

* warning: fopen(files/audio/V01032K.mp3): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/html/net.cvusonderjylland.dk/drupal/modules/audio/getid3/getid3/getid3.php on line 207.
* The following errors where encountered while reading the file's ID3 tags:
o Could not open file "files/audio/V01032K.mp3"

When I look on the server the audio file is indeed missing!

make sure you're using the lastest version. there was a bug in a previous version that would cause what you're describing.

I'm having the same problem as the OP, but using the latest official release of Drupal (downloaded and installed last week). I'm trying to start hosting podcasting for my church, if I go in to edit a custom tag, Drupal deletes the file on me. Also seems that if I add a new audio file (I'm using an FTP program to upload the files to the tmp folder then audio import to bring them in as it's telling me there's a 6mb file upload limit that I can't figure out where to change from the documentation I've been able to find), it deletes whatever other files are already in the files/audio folder in the process, which is a problem since we'd like to have a podcast archive of services going back at least a few months. I went in to change the settings of how large an upload an administrator is allowed and how much file space admins are allowed (changed them to 100mb and 10000mb respectively, the MP3s are under 10mb each) just in case that was causing the problem but no change.

Website is wsuucmedia.org and I am fairly new to the back-end of CMS work tho I've been doing minor web design for more than 10 years. I can usually figure these things out through sheer stubbornness, but I can't find anything else to tweak that looks like it would change this behavior, and it's not the logically expected behavior given the settings visible to an admin user.

it's bad form to re-open long closed issues. you need to use the dev version.

very sorry about that, I guessed that shortly after hitting the submit button when I saw the issues link... still getting used to the navigation of this website and wasn't sure what the etiquette was. Hope I did it properly with the one I posted afterwards, I went back and added as much detail as I could find.

wsuucmedia, no i'm the one that needs to apologize. you found the correct issue, i mis-read what you'd written and thought you were changing the subject. the short answer is that you need to download this release: http://drupal.org/node/95676
