hi
i have installed eCommerce Suite and Audio modules on 5x and everything works fine.
they do their jobs individually very well and i can make playlists in audio and submit products in my store.
but...
when i try to make an audio node a product in the - create content > audio - and enable 'File download product' at the 'product' options area i get the error;
'Please enter the path to the file.'
at the top of the page.
but the file location box is greyed out and disabled - it says 'Do not edit. File is managed by audio node' but it is also highlighted red indicting it is where the error is.
does any one know why this could be? i have probably set a path or directory wrong in one or the two modules.
thanks

I've done several fresh installs and continue to have the same problem. I was using the lastest stable audio.module with same issue and I tried out the lastest csv to try out the playlist feature and to see if it fixed the ecommerce issue. It didn't. I tried the dev of ecommerce and the stable and it did it in both. I have store files set to files/store. audio files are set to files/audio. The audio upload works fine. I am having some new ecommerce issues I wasn't having before with generic files for sale going to a page not found error when I add to cart. But I think I'll be able to figure that one out. I've only been messing with drupal for a few days and I have a lot to learn. Most of the problems I've had so far I"ve found solutions for through goodle or droople.org. This is the first one I haven't found anyone else except you having the issue. I think it might have something to do with file permissions and drupal writing the files as user/apache. But that's over my head. I have a php programmer joining me on this project soon and if there's not a solution by then I'll have him look at the code.

I've got same problem and as far as I can see the problem is related to ec_media module implementation. When that module is enabled it changes the behaviour of the text box that should have the file path. When I try to follow ec_media setup instructions for drupal five they don't seem to apply because I can't set product type for audio files as instructed.

I found a bodge that rectifies this problem, and have written it up as an update to your bug. Hopefully, a better Drupal programmer than me can provide a more robust solution.
