Managing Your Media

Last updated 1 month ago

Upload and Manage Media

In this section you will learn how to check metadata and upload audio files to the Media Control Panel.

Checking Metadata

Music files typically contain meta data which includes information such as the Title, Artist, Album and other information. This is important information that is displayed on the service and is also used to obtain Album Art Covers.

It is possible to easily check this on your PC by following these steps:

  1. Right click on media item and select Properties
  2. Select the Details tab
  3. You should now see meta data such as Title, Album and Year. If this information is not available, then you can enter it in the details tab and select Apply.
Checking Multiple Files

For checking multiple files and automatically applying meta data, we recommend instead to use software such as MP3TAG. This software is very popular and used commonly by broadcasters. 

Navigate to the Media Manager

 

Drag and drop the media files from your PC to the Media Manager

 

Manageing Audio Files

Creating folders in the Media Manger allows you to organize your files. You can then setup playlists with AutoDJ to playout entire folders of content.

Edit Metadata

You can edit the metadata and cover art from within the panel by right click on your uploaded media and selecting Edit track

Broadcasting with AutoDJ
