Cannot move music between stores on UnitiServ

Posted by: Chi Yuen Lam on 22 March 2011

I have an external hard disk attached to my Netgear router as NAS. When I set it up as network share, UnitiServ can play all the AIFF files with no problem. However, if I change the NAS to music store, all the music could not been seen by Unitiserv and could not move between the local hard disk and NAS. Very strange, have anyone seen it before? The message from UnitiServ is "the is no music or albums on the music store"

Thank you Bart and Lars,

I think the 2TB option makes it lot easier....

The answer is the answer that Phil gave above in this thread; there is no way to "put" music files onto the 1tb hard drive that the UnitiServe did not rip itself.

The easiest solution is to store the downloaded music on a USB "thumb drive" and insert that into one of the usb slots on the back of the UnitiServe and play them from there. Of, if you have a NAS drive on your network of course you can play them from there.

I've done both of these; let me know if I can explain it better for you!

Now we have the network writeable "Downloads" folder on the new 2Tb UnitiServe and HDX you can put any downloaded music into that folder and get it onto the serves in that way.

Cheers

Phil

Hi Phil,

My UnitiServ was bought a year ago. Does it also have the "download folders"? If not, how can I create it?

The shared "Downloads" folder is only available on 2Tb machines or machines that have been updated to 2Tb....

Can you confirm whether the 1TB NS01 can be upgraded? Not urgent, but I'd like to know for the near future. Would be good to have a Downloads folder.

There's no technical reason why an NS01 can't be upgraded to 2 x 2Tb drives - I'm sure we'll be able to offer that once the powers that be sort out a price for the update.
