Lesson Summary

Learn about two common hard drive folder structures for bulk uploads to DISCO: traditional and optimized.

Traditional Structure:

  • Complex folder system with multiple layers (artists, albums, versions, file formats).
  • Results in cluttered playlists without unique names like WAV, AIFF, MP3 etc.

Optimized Structure:

  • Simplifies organization by incorporating the artist's name into album folders.
  • Consolidates all relevant files into a single folder.
  • Focuses on AIFF as the primary file format

Automatic Transcoding:

  • Automatically converts AIFF files to MP3s for efficient streaming.
  • Transfers metadata automatically, negating the need for separate WAV and MP3 uploads.

Benefits of Optimized Structure:

  • Results in a cleaner, more organized system.
  • Eases management and access to files.
  • Ensures a streamlined process for bulk uploads.
