I'm assuming the getid3 directory you're pointing to has the actual
getid3.php file in it (the default installation for them puts it a
directory lower getid3/getid3/getide.php)

It also occurs to me that getid3 ships with a test utility (it browses
your hard disk for mp3 and displays the internals). Next time you get
a chance you might want to give that a spin to see if the problem is
in the library installation.

Admin can completely edit that page. Click 'Manage Site' then 'Submit
Forms' and edit away.

We used to do this automatically but it's possible the OpenClipArt
guys (also on this list) disabled it in the main codebase. By default
the thumbnails only show up on the main page for the upload, not in
the general listings.

Thanks for your patience and hanging in there.
