Create storage

Maby im a complete idiot.

But i cant get this software to work because when i try to import files to DB it says i have no storage. And how the he… do i create storage? I have tryed almost anything and search here at forum , Check manual and i dont seem to get any info out where i create a storage so i can start using this software.

Confused?!?!

I’m pretty sure it’s explained in the manual:

  • Start mAirListDB app
  • Go to Administration -> Configuration
  • Add your main audio folder(s) as storages
  • Restart mAirListDB

Now click “Synchronize”, and mAirList will scan the the storage for new files and register them in the library. You can go back to the Sync dialog at any time when you have copied new files to your audio folder. This is the usual way to add music to the library - scan a storage for changes.

The “Import” function does two things at the same time: (1) Copy a file (from another folder, e.g. Desktop) to the storage folder and (2) register it in the Library. This can be used to copy new files to your storage quickly, from an USB drive or so. But the Sync method is the preferred.

Yes, this is all in the manual: section 11.3.1 onwards.

Before you can add audio files to mAirListDB, you need to tell mAirListDB where your audio files are stored. In mAirListDB terminology, the audio file folders on your hard disks or network file servers are called storages. (The term ‘storage’ was chosen because future versions of mAirList may support other types of data source: for example, a web server).
