There’s currently a few issues when uploading multiple audio files to an asset gallery:
- None of the metadata (in ID3 tags or similar) is extracted, such as title, artist, album, or album art
- When upload directly into an asset gallery field, the filename is not shown. This results in every uploaded audio file just having a blank thumbnail and “No metadata set” as their name, making them indistinguishable from one another.
- When multiple files are uploaded together, they do not appear in the asset gallery field in the same order as they were selected for upload. Perhaps they are listed there in order of upload completion time, but that doesn’t respect the uploader’s original intent.
Can we improve this workflow?
