I really need an old feature and that is to upload several songs belonging to the same album.

How can I do this as admin?

From the upload album button in the profile where they are going you can ctrl+click to upload all the items in that album in one go.

Thanks! I found out how to do it.

Now, how can I bulk upload multiple files to an album I already creted?

Create a new album with the same name as the existing album.

ACP -> Media -> Audio Support -> uncheck the "Block MP3 Downloads" option.

Hope this helps!

Then you should see download buttons on your audio items. I'm not seeing an issue with it here.

Thanks!

hey brian, I've created an album uploading several mp3 files to it.

but in that page I don't have the option to make each file downloadable.

I want all songs I upload for an album be available for download. How can I do this? instead of setting one by one..

Thanks.-

You do not do it individually. It sounds like your download button has been hidden - just view the audio list as master admin for one of your profiles, and click on the "configure these buttons and the order they appear in" button that is on the far right (might be hilighted yellow) - click on that and then make sure the download button is enabled. You can do the same thing in the item details page.

Hope this helps!

That is what I am trying to explain. You do not make files "downloadable" on any form - not in the create album, not in the update album, not in the create song, not in the update song. As the site admin you control whether or not users can download media - not the artists.

I've already outline above how to do it.

Hope this helps!

You mean the artists can NOT control if their songs are available to download?

What if the artist do NOT want a particular song to be downloaded? what if he/she only wants the song to be heard?

You can do this, it's just not how JR is setup by default. Go into the form designer for the "modify" audio file and create a custom checkbox control called "audio_allow_download".

Then, modify the "item_list.tpl" file in your template editor and add something like:

{if $item.audio_allow_download == 'on'}
   ... show download button ...
{/if}

Hope this helps!

I'll try it. What I don't understand is why you removed this option for us using JR as a music site. This was possible on JR4 without much trouble.

Because it can be added in if wanted and not every site is a music site.

Ok, I could understand that. Now, will that work on the "Create Album" page? so next time I create an album and include 5 songs, then those songs could be download..

I'm on the "modify item list button" page modifying the download button.
I want it to be visible for everyone (users and not users), so I select "no group restrictions" but it does not save the change.

I see that here as well - let me see what is up.
