I've just noticed some weird behavior. My users can go into their accounts, and under "create content" they have a choice of creating audio content among other things. They can then upload the first file with no problem. When they go back to upload another audio file though, they are presented with the first one and essentially have a choice of replacing that file, or....OK so it's not so much as choice as a conundrum. It seems as though they're only being allowed the one file but it's unclear where I've set such a limit. As the intention here is for them to be posting lots of original material, this sort of blows the whole concept.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Regards,

Frank

I guess on reading a bit more thoroughly (mainly thread http://drupal.org/node/311284), it seems that what I need to do isn't supported in unstable3.

I need the audio attach and playlist functionality, both of which are incomplete. At least that's what I'm hoping it is. If I understand this correctly, audio attach is what will allow user's to attach multiple audio files to a single node, and playlist is what will allow them to sort out how it is they'd like to display them. What I'm seeing is the correct default behavior as I've got audio added to the user's profile so when they upload to the audio field of their profile, there's only room for the one file. That's where the audio attach feature would come in handy and allow several files in a similar fashion to what you can do in myspace.

I'm beginning to think I may have made a mistake by starting out with Drupal 6 rather than 5. Does anyone have an opinion as to whether I'd be better off just starting over with Drupal 5? This is a pretty key feature for me so if that's what it's going to take, then I'd like to know.

If anyone knows of a canned solution to this, please give a shout.

Regards,

Frank

I'm in the same boat as you. Would be great to have multiple uploads feature.

I don't know if this is an option for you but I wound up just ditching the audio module for now. To get what I was after I used a custom audio filefield along with SWFtools for the rendering side of things. With that set up I associated the new custom field with the content types that I was trying to get set up, and everything seems to be behaving.

If you don't need the ID3 editing capabilities filefield is a great choice.
