Hi,

i'm using the audio_import component to batch-upload more than 30 audio files .

First i uploaded all the files to my tmp/audio folder located in my drupal's root.
then i go to "administer/content management/Audio import", select all of my audio files and click "import".

Here, nothing happens. Go take a look at
http://www.peterhannan.ca/music/audio

So what is the real purpose of the audio-Import component and how to use it if the result i'm looking for is the same as when i create an single audio file with "create content/audio"?

thanks

i guess i don't understand you question. so you are or are not able to import files? what happens if you just select a single file and import that? selecting two files?

Well thanks for answering. :-)

ok, I figured out how the component works.

But still a problem; it doesnt import numerous files at the same time. It can only import the first on the list even though i select all the files.

Unless i've done something wrong, which is possible but unlikely.

Am i the first to report the issue?

depending on you're host's setup it might enforce a timelimit on PHP so that it can only import a small number of files at a time. what happens when you select a large number of files? whitescreen? does it just act like it's trying to submit the form and hang?

what happens when i try to import a large number of files is that the audio import component acts exactly like if it was able to do the job. exept that, on the server, only the first selected file of the list has been imported.

I have to import them all one after the other. But anyway, i have to fill up their metatags and stuff so...

humm, i wonder if something in the 5.3 upgrade affected it. i'll try to look into it when i get a little time.
