Audio bulk upload and metadata editing

stewie32 - October 22, 2009 - 16:13

I am using drupal to create a site that will allow the user to upload mp3 files and create a playlist from these files. How I have it setup is the user creates a content type "playlist" and then from there using Drupal's default file upload/attachment feature the user can add mp3s to the playlist.

The problem I am having is I want the users to be able to edit each mp3's id3 tags to add artist and song titles to each track.

I tried using the audio module to accomplish this, but the problem I had is I want the user to be able to upload multiple files at a time and I didn't see where this module facilitated that functionality. The audio module's import feature was the closest it offered to what I wanted. The only problem being I didn't think that for a regular user it was the most intuitive way to create a playlist.

investigate the getid3() module in the downloads are. Though I don't know if it, or anything in the repo allows for the "writing" of getid3 tags but getid3() does allow the reading of the tags.

rather than the audio.module (no stable release for Drupal 6.x)
I prefer the CCK, filefield, views, viewsbonus, swftools.module building blocks for handling audio/video.

Thanks for the quick reply. I

Thanks for the quick reply. I will take your advise and try those other modules. Apparently getid3() can write tags to an mp3 file. Thank you again for the insight.
