Upload Panel

The Upload Panel lets you transfer music from where the browser is running - computer, tablet or phone - to the Brennan.

There are two kinds of upload.

  1. Bulk upload - uploads files from many folders in one operation - the artist and album names are created automatically from the folder names
  2. File upload - uploads files from just one folder - you have to tell it the artist artist and album names

  • In Bulk Upload click on the Choose File button - it should really say Choose Folder because you need to select a folder containing all the music you want to upload.
  • The folder could be your entire iTunes or Amazon MP3 folder - or it could be an individual album.
  • For security the browser will ask you to confirm you really want to do this.
  • Upload will start as soon as you confirm.
  • The progress will be displayed in the panel.
  • It’s not very quick so you will have to plan for that.
  • You can stop an upload by clicking cancel.
  • If you restart an upload it will skip anything previously uploaded
  • Some browsers conceal folders above the folder you pick - for security reasons - in these cases the artist and/or album may be given the name “Unknown” and the status will show a warning message.

  • In File Upload you should specify the Artist and Album first.
  • It doesn’t have to be a real album - just a good name for the collection - so you could use “Various” and “Music from 90’s” for example.
  • Click on Choose Files and select one or more files from one folder on your computer or device.
  • When all set click on Send to B2
  • Progress is displayed in the panel.
  • You can stop an upload by clicking cancel.
  • If you restart an upload it will skip anything previously uploaded
  • You can add to a previously created album.

On the Mobile UI the Upload panel is under the Settings tab

NB some mobile phones may not allow you to access music files. I was able to send files from my Android phone. iPhones may be more restrictive.
