 # # # # You MUST upload the metadata first, and the way things seem to be organised, your item MUST have a file with it. That's why my test uploaded that 1 second WAV file. This is a constraint in the ia tool and was in the days of using the S3-like interface, so I imagine it's built-in to the IA software.
 # # # # When creating the metadata you MUST define the mediatype, and since this controls some of what you can upload, using audio seems to be vital for HPR stuff.
 # # # # I discovered (by accident) that if the metadata phase fails and the next phase (uploading files) continues to run, an item will be created but it will be a default thing which YOU CAN'T CHANGE! You have to plead with the people at info@archive.org to reset this item (they will never delete) because you can't change the defaults to the right values. If this happens and is not fixed, then HPR has effectively lost a slot (at least I tell myself this so that I don't inadvertently screw up an upload).
