Import Songs from ZIP Files · Next Karaoke

Prepare the ZIP files before opening Import

Before using Import, run Karaoke Packer to scan the song source folder and create the ZIP parts. The tool is located at /Users/digixtwo/Documents/Project/karaoke-tools/karaoke-packer. Next Karaoke imports the ZIP output from that tool; it does not create the export package in this screen.

Step 1: Open the Import tab

[Mockup placeholder: Main player settings or context menu with Manage Songs highlighted, then the Import tab highlighted]

Open the compressed song library

1
Right-click the player screen, or open the settings menu from the gear button at the bottom-right.
2
Choose “จัดการเพลง” (Manage Songs).
3
Open the “นำเข้า” (Import) tab.
4
Turn on “โหมดคลังเพลงแบบบีบอัด” (Compressed song library mode). If the mode is off, the ZIP controls are disabled.

Step 2: Select ZIP files

Add ZIP files to the import queue

1
Click “เลือกไฟล์ .zip” (Select .zip files) and select one or more ZIP parts created by Karaoke Packer.
2
Wait while the system checks and copies the files into the import queue cache.
3
Review the “ไฟล์รอนำเข้า” (Files waiting to import) list. Use the trash button beside an item to remove only that file, or use the clear button to empty the queue.
4
If the ZIP files are on another device, choose “รับไฟล์” (Receive files) and follow the shared receiving-device guide before continuing.

Step 3: Import the queue

Start the import

1
Click “นำเข้า” (Import) when the queue contains the ZIP parts you want to process.
2
Read the confirmation message. It shows how many files will be processed into the database, then confirm the operation.
3
Wait for the progress dialog to finish. The system may show a successful, partially successful, or failed result.
4
After a successful import, check the index count and search for one of the imported songs.

Delete database is different from deleting ZIP files

The Delete database action clears the song entries for compressed-library mode. It does not delete the ZIP files, and the files waiting in the import queue must be managed separately.
