Why am I not seeing Program instead of Track when entering new 8 track not in database?

I see where 8 tracks already in the database have Programs 1-4.

When I try to add an 8 track not in the database and select 8 Track from the drop down format, I'm expecting to see Track change to Program 1 and so on.

Why am I not seeing Program?

You have to add Program where you require it so e.g. track 01 would be added Program 1 SECTIONBREAK She Loves You
Do the same for each Program you can use the same to add Side or a subtitle once uploaded the SECTIONBREAK is not visible and it must be upper case.

Where is this info in some guidelines? I searched and searched and nothing with these instructions.

I'm going to do your instructions now.

Okay, so I guess I didn't understand because I didn't fill in correctly and my entry isn't right.

On the 8 track tape itself, there's Program 1 Song 1, Song 2, Song 3

So, on Track 1, I type in Program 1 SECTIONBREAK Song 1 SECTIONBREAK Song 2 SECTIONBREAK Song 3

On the 8 track tape itself, there's Program 2 Song 1, Song 2, Song 3

So, on Track 2, I type in Program 2 SECTIONBREAK Song 1 SECTIONBREAK Song 2 SECTIONBREAK Song 3


Is this correct?

When I tried to do this, admittedly I forgot the word Program.

When you bring up the add tape page you will see this -
Add Tape Media

First choose the country the tape is from (or read the guide to adding tapes).

Click on guide and this will give you all the info you need.

You have tried to it all at once, so you add the SECTIONBREAKS when you need them not on every track take a look at this one https://www.45worlds.com/tape/media/be86024
You enter Program on the track as you need it, do you want me delete what you uploaded so you can try again ?

Yes, please delete. I have over 200 tapes to add for 8 tracks alone.

Yes, I figured it out before your example but thank you for the exact example.

I had to reread the instructions a couple of times in conjunction with your replies.

I have over 250 8 tracks and about 800 albums to enter when I get a chance.

I truly enjoy and appreciate this website.

That will keep you busy for a while, 8 Track was one format I never got into probably because I did not have a car until the late 80's.

Anyone who knows about 8 tracks is that there was always a plentiful supply on the side of the road. :grin:

You have to be my age to appreciate that line! LOL

A suggestion would be to show an exact example for 8 track and cassette such as the one you've typed for me.
