Importing music from the server
===============================
Funkwhale can import music files that are located on the server assuming
they readable by the Funkwhale application. Your music files should contain at
least an ``artist``, ``album`` and ``title`` tags, but we recommend you tag
it extensively using a proper tool, such as Beets or Musicbrainz Picard.
Funkwhale can import music files saved on the server
assuming they are readable by the Funkwhale application.
Your music files should contain at least
``artist``, ``album`` and ``title`` tags,
but we recommend you tag extensively using a proper tool,
such as Beets or Musicbrainz Picard.
Funkwhale supports two different import modes:
- copy (the default): files are copied into Funkwhale's internal storage. This means importing a 1GB library will result in the same amount of space being used by Funkwhale.
- :ref:`in-place <in-place-import>` (when the ``--in-place`` is provided): files are referenced in Funkwhale's DB but not copied or touched in anyway. This is useful if you have a huge library, or one that is updated by an external tool such as Beets.
