Adding album/artist data

[frank7036]

Hi ,
Nowadays I am purchasing more music online and often there is an information “booklet” accompanying the music purchase. The booklet may contain detailed information on the creation of the particular album or extra data about the artist.
Is there any way to add this information to the imported music data (much like the pdf file of the album cover is imported) so that the info is displayed when clicking on artist info?

If the PDF stays in the folder with the album then you can view that booklet in Sense on the Album page, but at the moment there is not a mechanism to have one attached at a whole Artist level. Would you want to see more options to add information at the overall artist level?

Hi Stephen,
So I have to move the files into the “music tracks” file before importing to Innuos? Can I do that after the music import?

Hi @Stephen Healy ,
I tried what I think you said. The album information (.pdf) is included in the folder with the music tracks and was imported. However there is no “biography” available when looking at the album, from the album page.
Have I misunderstood your instructions?

Yes, I would like to be able to read this booklet when playing the album.

Yes, you can move a PDF into the folder with the tracks after the import, that is fine, but it will not populate the artist biography - the system does not read from PDFs in this. PDF Booklets can only be viewed from the ALBUM view, so if you selected that album 'QOPE' you should then see an icon on the right which gives you a view to look at the PDF.

Got it , thank you @Stephen Healy . I’m learning a lot on how to edit data in the system. I wish I’d known how the system names & structures the internal files on import - especially linking to albums/artists/lists etc.
I also added a request to access the booklets and other info when playing an album to an existing request in the “Feedback” section of Innuos.
