How to Use the DISCO Bulk Uploader App

DISCO’s Bulk Uploader is a convenient desktop application designed to upload large folders directly from your hard drive to DISCO. It operates in the background, streamlining the process and saving you significant time and effort that would otherwise be required for manual uploads.

Starting a Bulk Upload

Get started by downloading and installing the DISCO Uploader app off our website, or in the Playlist Creator on the "click here to import" popup.

‍

Launch the app and enter your DISCO URL

Enter your email and password

Click the “Add Folder" button

Select the folder on your hard drive

Note that ZIP files won’t unpack in DISCO; make sure to unzip before uploading to have access the files inside them in DISCO.

Before starting a large upload, we recommend reading our articles on preparing a bulk upload and troubleshooting stalled transfers. This will save you a lot of time in organizing and cleaning up after the upload.

Find the uploaded tracks and folders in DISCO

Folders uploaded to DISCO through the Bulk Uploader automatically create playlists, which can be found in the Browse area.

In this example, the highlighted Catalog folder was selected for upload.

In this example, we see that The Checks album folders (nested within the containing artist folder for The Checks) automatically become playlists in DISCO when they’re ingested through the Bulk Uploader:

The parent folders in this case ("Catalog" and "The Checks") are not visible inside DISCO since they did not directly contain any files within them.

Next Steps

You will receive an email notification once an upload is completed.
Best practice is to then create Channels to organize uploaded playlists into folders that mimic your hard drive set up.
