# Add a Clip to the Database

After creating a database, train Media Server to recognize each audio clip by running the action `TrainAudioMatchClip`.

To add an audio clip to the database

- Add a clip using the action `TrainAudioMatchClip`. Set the following parameters:

  `database` | The name of the database to add the clip to. The database must already exist.
  `identifier` | (Optional) A unique identifier for the clip (maximum 254 bytes). If you do not set this parameter, Media Server generates an identifier automatically.
  `audiodata` | (Set this or `audiopath`, but not both). The audio data. Files must be uploaded as multipart/form-data. For more information about sending data to Media Server, see Send Data by Using a POST Method.
  `audiopath` | (Set this or `audiodata`, but not both). The path of the audio clip. The path must be absolute or relative to the Media Server executable file.

  For example:

      curl http://localhost:14000 -F action=TrainAudioMatchClip
                                  -F database=Music
                                  -F audiodata=@clip1.wav

  Alternatively, the following example provides the path of the audio clip rather than sending the audio data:

      curl http://localhost:14000 -F action=TrainAudioMatchClip
                                  -F database=Music
                                  -F audiopath=clip1.wav

  Media Server adds the clip to the database and returns the identifier.
