Source Audio onboarding process: Next steps and metadata mapping guide

In this article, we'll cover the next steps after completing the transfer of your Source Audio content to DISCO.

At a glance: Next steps

After you've contacted us at onboarding@disco.ac to confirm the transfer is complete, we will do the following on our end:

  1. Import your Source Audio Files into your DISCO.
  2. Merge your Source Audio files with identical Filenames into individual DISCO Tracks.
  3. Map the Track metadata from your Source Audio files to your DISCO Tracks.
  4. Organize Tracks with identical Album metadata into Playlists titled with that Album name so you can easily find them in your DISCO.

Merging your Source Audio files into individual DISCO Tracks

Individual Tracks in DISCO can support multiple audio file formats. To help streamline your DISCO, if any of your Source Audio files have identical original and optimized Filenames (WAV or AIFF + MP3), we will merge them into single Tracks for you. Both formats will be preserved and associated with the single Track.

Example:

In your Source Audio, you had two files with the Filename "Lost inside the Dream", one in WAV format and one in MP3 format. After we merge these in your DISCO, you will see one Track titled "Lost Inside the Dream" with two formats available: WAV and MP3.

When it comes time to share Tracks from your DISCO with others, you can control which formats are available for download.

Mapping your metadata from Source Audio to DISCO

Below is a list of the metadata fields we will map from Source Audio to your DISCO (if provided):

If you need additional fields not covered by the above, please reach out to us at onboarding@disco.ac.

Organizing Tracks with the same Album Name into Playlists

To help streamline your DISCO, if any of your Source Audio files have an identical Album name, we will organize them into a single Playlist with that same Album name.

Example:

In your Source Audio, you had six files with the Album "Lost & Found." In your DISCO, you will see a Playlist titled "Lost & Found" containing these six Tracks.

Additional resources and support

Along with our Support Center, we have lots of great content (including video courses) in our School of DISCO.
