Audio Assistance
I thought that I would join the group as it looks like a good source of infomation regarding audio and Drupal.
I am currnetly setting up a music based website using Drupal and the Audio module, however, I am having a few issues that I would like some help with and I'm confident that the help I need is buried deep inside this group's combined intelligence.
Now, before I fill this page with my problems and needs, I want to know if this is the correct place to do so. Are we allowd to request help here or is there a better route?

This group is a good place
This group is a good place to hash out general ideas and talk/work out solutions and problems - but for specific bugs and support requests, you will probably have better luck filing and searching issues with the module directly, i.e.
http://drupal.org/project/audio
I'd give that a shot first if you are having trouble installing and configuring the module, and then try here if you have no luck or if the question is too broad for the support/issue queue.
Thank you for your reply My
Thank you for your reply
My issues are more to do with how to do stuff than bugs etc. For example, how to get a collection/album of tracks on a node or page?
Views + audio
For this Views can help a lot if you're not into coding. Just build a "node" View, filter on published or admin + type = audio and filter or group on album/collection. Sort by track. Add a Page display and choose the path where you want it to appear.
For extra points :-) add an argument to the View to choose the album or collection and use that argument for the album/collection filter instead of hardcoding it in the filters box. You now have one page for each of your albums/collections.
Thanks. I do use views to
Thanks.
I do use views to construct my pages, so I am kind of familiar with it, although no expert. Will the methos you describe provide a node that has one media player and a playlist of the album tracks?
This is where I am stuck. I can successfuly create audio pages/nodes that have a media player play one track. Easy peasy. But how do I get a player to play a list of tracks?

I would suggest that, instead of posting separate topic, just post all your queries/issues/problems here.
This will server duel purposes
1) People will know that such issues can occur.
2) People will also know how to deal with them.

Hello
Hi all,
The site I'm currently working on is a personal site, with one artist who has a couple of cds.
So no need for visitors/clients to become members...
I've been playing around with E-commerce and various sub-modules, and quickfile.
Anyhow once I've succeeded I'll post some instructions, as one ca easily get lost in debugging and the many dead-end issues and forum posts.
If anyone here has already succeeded with quickfile or ecommerce I'd love to read how you did it.
Cheers
