You can upload the audio files from your computer, from the Dropbox, from server to server transfer, through FTP (by using FTP method you can upload bulk audio files) or through S3 Sync.

How to Upload Audio Files

There are 5 methods available in Muvi CMS to upload your audio files to the Audio Library.

1. From Computer (Browser-Based Upload)

2. Server to Server Transfer

3. From Dropbox

4. Through FTP*

5. Through S3 Sync (Share Audio Files From Amazon S3 Server)

1. From Computer

• Go to "Manage Content "--> "Audio Library" in your CMS.
• Click on "Upload Audio”.
• Then select “From Computer” from the drop-down menu.
• Click on “Upload File” to upload the audio from your computer. You can upload as many audio files as you want. There is no limit to the number of audio files)

2.Server to Server Transfer

We provide a Server-To-Server Transfer method for audio file uploading.

• Select the option “Server to Server Transfer” from the drop-down list (See Below Screenshot)
• Provide the path to the file on your server in the corresponding field ( e.g. \\Server\Volume\File)
• Give your User Name and Password in the respective fields
• Click on “Submit” to start uploading the audio file

Note: This method only supports single audio file upload. If you have several numbers of audio files then you have to repeat the process for each audio file.

3.From Dropbox

If you have a Dropbox account and uploaded all your audio files there then, you can pull the audio files to your Muvi CMS with the following steps.

• Login to your Dropbox account, go to “Files “and open your uploaded contents.
• You will find a “Share “men Select “Share “and you will get a pop-up window and copy the URL of your audio file.

• In your Muvi CMS, select the option “From Dropbox” from the drop-down list (See Below Screenshot)
• You need to paste the URL copied from Dropbox till the extension of the audio format (i.e. abc.mp3) in the field “Path to the file on Dropbox”.
• Refer the above screenshot closely where the audio format is .mp3 and you need to delete all other text after the audio format (Please remove ‘‘? dl=0” from the URL).
• Click on “Submit” to start uploading the audio file

4.Through FTP

In this method, we use a traditional FTP client to upload audio files to Muvi’s audio library.

• Login to the FTP account with the FTP account details provided in the CMS (See Below Screenshot). You can install FileZilla and then log in to it using the FTP details provided.
• After connecting to this FTP account, you can upload your audio files.
• After uploading your audio files, you need to click on “Sync to Audio Library” on your audio library page (See Below Screenshot).
• Then all your audio files will be automatically uploaded to your "Audio Library".

5. Through S3 Sync (Share Audio Files From Amazon S3 Server)

There is another method you can use while uploading audio file to the Audio Library. If you have audio files on the Amazon S3 server, then you can share these audio files with us. There are 2 methods to share your audio files with us.

1. You need to provide us with the Access Key and Security Key of the AWS (Root/I AM) user and give us full permission for all S3 operations. We will transfer the audio files from your S3 account to our account. (Please do not remove the permission and user if you want to continue to share the audio files from your S3 account in the future)

2. This is a one-time audio sharing process. You need to share the audio files with us like the above-mentioned process, then you can remove the user and permission after transferring the audio files to our server.

Important Note:

• This is a manual process. You need to add a support ticket to upload audio files using S3 Sync.
• Do not upload any other audio file format except .mp3, .wma, .wav, .aac, .flac, .aiff, .m4p, .m4a, .m4b, .webm, .dvf and .raw.
• The file name must be alphanumeric and it shouldn't contain any space or special characters (i.e. !, @, $, &, *, except "_" and "-")  (For Example, the file name should be like despacito_10.mp3)

Once your audio is uploaded, it will show on the “Audio Library” page of your CMS.
