Can you copy/paste the error message you are getting?
-
This is what shows when i try to go to import files
Directory: /roc_2004-04-08.aud.flac
Band Abbreviation: roc
Show Date: 2004-04-08
The abbreviation roc is associated with Roots Of Creation.If this is not the band or artist that performed this show, please log into the FTP server and rename the directory to the abbreviation which is associated with the correct artist. If this is correct, please review Roots Of Creation's policy before importing this show.
This directory or files contained within the directory have illegal characters in the name. To continue you will need to log into the FTP server and rename the files and directories. A legal directory or file name starts with a letter or a number, and has at least one more legal character (a number, a letter, a dash, an underscore (e.g. _), or a period). Please also ensure that you modify the MD5 file to reflect these renames.
Thank this is my first upload of a how to the archive so i appreciate your help
-
try renaming the show folder without the underscore. roc2004...
-
nope.....no good
???
-
Your disc 2 fingerprint file has a space in the name. Remove that, and show should be fine.
-
just curious as to how you knew that?? can you see the uploaded files before i import them???
-
also, when will an administrator accept this band...its a new band (well just starting to really tour) that by good friend growing up put together and he wants to get his tunes out there as quick as possible. i assume this will happen quick but anyone else know??

Yes, I'm an admin with archive.org.

Someone that represents the band needs to email permission to etree AT archive . org in order for the band section to be activated. More on this in the FAQ's if you're interested.

And thanks for the help and all the effort you put into kepping the archive up an running...if i had 50 posts you would get a ticket!!

-

If they send the email today, probably 24-48 hours until they are active.
-
They? the archive to you (or other admin) or the band to archive saying its allright?
Hey i hit 50!! theres your +T....i will always remember you as my first :'(
-
One other thing, though this isn't affecting anything...it's best to label your folders as .flac16 or .flac24. If they just end in .flac, they could be confused for FLAC files. :)

Hahaha, thanks man.
They as in band reps. So if the band reps (are you one?) send a permission email today, their band section will likely be open for contributions within 24-48 hours.

Good advice!! Thanks Dave (working on 50...)

I can def send an email authorizing their music to be on Archive.org. He is one of my best friends (i grew up with him) and we have discussed this before and i have been working on some of his recordings for this so i feel very good about authorizing it for him. If you can let me know where i need to send the email to that would be grerat.
Thanks

Send it to etree AT archive DOTT org
Explain who you are, your relation to the artist that gives you the ability to speak on their behalf, and tell the archive that they now have permission to add the artist's recordings to the Live Music collection.
Please include (if available)
- a link to the artist's website
- a copy of the artist's taping policy
- stance on lossy files - is the artist interested in seeing lossy files hosted next to the lossless files or would the artist prefer to see strictly lossless files?
Thanks!

done and done
New band on the ARchive!!!!

Hi Dan, I'm another volunteer admin there who is one of the ones helping with band setups. A few of us volunteers go on a week-by-week rotation and depending on the person's schedule (RL job, etc) it could take up to about a week to see the band section go active. Like, up through yesterday has been my week but the last few days I've been sick/tending sick family and now have an "OK backlog" (dangit, also missed Great Backyard Bird Count). I just activated the roc section on the basis of this thread and will pretty it up/send email later today or this evening after I help my son with his book report!
(So BTW uploader folks, the rule of thumb is to make sure the artist's section is active *before* initiating any uploads, and things will go smoother.)
