Audio files in wrong field

Anki Add-ons
1

Hi everybody,

I wonder if anybody can help me with the following issue: I’ve created a deck for learning French where in the first field I have the French word, in the second field the Audio, in the third the translation in Italian and in the fourth the translation in Swedish. The problem is that when I download the audio from Forvo (I have the Forvo addon) it ends up in the first field while I would like it to end up in the second field (the Audio one) without being forced every time to move it manually to the audio field. Any suggestion?

Thx for your help

Please provide a link to the add-on you’re using – there are several for Forvo.

anki-forvo-dl - Forvo Pronunciation Downloader (fully automatic) - AnkiWeb

This seems pertinent:

Field selection When adding audio to a card with a note type for the first time, anki-forvo-dl will ask you to select two fields: The search field, whose contents will be used to search on Forvo and the audio field, where the audio string will be placed in ([audio:XYZ.mp3]). By default, anki-forvo-dl will append the audio string to the existing contents of the audio field. If you want to change that, see the “Editing the config” section.

Thx for your answer but the Forvo add-on has no config

If you’re sure that you’re using the same add-on you posted a link to, and you don’t have the feature it claims to have – you will probably have to contact the developer through the add-on page.

But first –

  • Did you read the rest of the add-on page to make sure you’re looking in the right place for those settings?
  • Have you checked for add-on updates – which you can do from the Anki add-on window?
  • Are you using an old enough version of Anki that you are stuck with an old version of the add-on, before this feature was added [for this one, it looks like that would be pre-2.1.49]?

I fix it by creating a new deck and following your steps. Thx very much for your help!
