Description
First of all, great project. I was wondering if it would be possible to add other ways to upload files. For instance, the Gallery project has the ability to upload zip files which are unzipped on the server side and a Java uploader which basically allows you to drag and drop multiple files into an upload que. It's an open source project so maybe there could be some code sharing.

One viable option is that you can ftp files up to your server and use the audio import module (included in the 4.7 audio module) to import these files as audio nodes and add them to your playlist.
Upload/creation related features are more related to the audio module than the playlist module.

Drewz is right, upload options are really more of an audio.module issue. I would suggest checking out audio_import module included in the 4.7 distro of the audio module. Drag and drop is cool, though.

Thanks for the replies. I suppose thats an option I'll look into. Still seems like a lot of work for a "typical" user. launch ftp app - > upload files -> import files. Most of my users don't even know what ftp is. I suppose if they use IE they could upload in a browser window.

Opening this up because I see multi-uploading as a relevant task for both audio and playlist modules. If one solves it first then the other can use it. I'm particularly interested in seeing how the Gallery module does zip files and drag and drop.

Would be nice to implement or modify for audio files.

Thanks zirafa, that seems to be exactly what I was looking for. Has anyone tried it with audio yet? I'll give it a try on my test server.

kylehase, I believe what I linked to only works for images at the moment. I think what would be really ideal is to push these changes out into a java uploader module or something completely external. Then not only could it be used for uploading files to a playlist, it could be used by the upload.module, audio.module, image.module, etc...
As it stands this is beyond my scope for this project, although I will certainly incorporate it if somebody can get it working.
