+Importing music
+================
+
+From music directory on the server
+----------------------------------
+
+You can import music files in funkwhale assuming they are located on the server
+and readable by the funkwhale application.
+
+Assuming your music is located at ``/music`` and your music files contains at
+least an ``artist``, ``album`` and ``title`` tag, you can import those tracks as follows:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    docker-compose --rm run api python manage.py import_files "/music/**/*.ogg" --recursive --noinput
+
+.. note::
+
+    This command is idempotent, meaning you can run it multiple times on the same
+    files and already imported files will simply be skipped.
+
+.. warning::
+
+    At the moment, only ogg files are supported. MP3 support will be implemented soon.
+
+Getting demo tracks
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+If you do not have any music on your server but still want to test the import
+process, you can call the following methods do download a few albums licenced
+under creative commons (courtesy of Jamendo):
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    curl -L -o download-tracks.sh "https://code.eliotberriot.com/funkwhale/funkwhale/raw/master/demo/download-tracks.sh"
+    curl -L -o music.txt "https://code.eliotberriot.com/funkwhale/funkwhale/raw/master/demo/music.txt"
+    chmod +x download-tracks.sh
+    ./download-tracks.sh music.txt
+
+This will download a bunch of zip archives (one per album) under the ``data/music`` directory and unzip their content.

+-----------------------
+
+If you want to :doc:`import music located on the server </importing-music>`, you can put it in the ``data/music`` directory and it will become readable by the importer.
