A couple of Serve/Qute/app questions...

Posted by: Nick B on 28 September 2010

Hi all,

Have had a 'Serve-SSD and NDAC in place for 5 days and am enjoying the upgrade from my CD5i-2 hugely - it has prompted a few of questions that I hope someone on the forum can answer:

1) Is there a way to view a list of Songs/Tracks via the n-Serve app in the same manner that albums are currently listed ?

2) In the DTC, Tools, System Settings, General section - what is the effect of adding a folder into the list of Compilation Folders ? I can't determine any difference in the way compilations are handled and I would really like to be able to tag an album as a compilation and then assign different artists to each track.

3) I'm thinking of buying my brother a 'Qute for Christmas - would it be possible to setup a new Music Store or Network Share on a second NAS (with inbuilt UPnP), rip his CDs to this via my 'Serve, disconnect the second NAS and give it to him, along with a 'Qute. Would the 'Qute be able to see the music on the NAS via the n-Stream app ?

Thanks for reading !

Nick,

To answer your question 3) you can probably simulate connecting/disconnecting your second NAS using a shared directory on a home PC and see how it goes.

During your test, you will need to determine several points:

a) Where are the music files being written?

b) What music server will you install (or have pre-installed) on the NAS after it is disconnected?

3) After you disconnect the second NAS, what will happen to your Serve database. Will it be possible for you to rebuild it with the remaining tracks?
