Requested Changes to DTC/Web Client
Posted by: Mr Underhill on 24 March 2011
Dear Naim,
As a software developer I am always grateful for feedback, even if much of it has been given before!
In that spirit could I suggest a few things I would LOVE to see in your server apps:
1. Show the source file type;
2. Show the bitrate of what is being rendered;
3. Allow users to traverse the file structure of remote shares;
4. Allow a rescan of a small part of remote share, rather than the all or nothing at the moment;
5. Allow a way leveraging the metadata techniques used during Naim rips, to update the data with respect to the rips on remote shares.
To expand on (5):
My ears tell me that with the Naim servers WAV sounds better. However, I have lots of tag data in my flac files.
I am happy to deflac the files, but find myself with an increasing number of files with a genre of 'unassigned'.
I appreciate that Naim locks their Stores, perhaps a middle way could be developed to 'import' files from a network share into an 'nShare'. This would be a network share managed by the Naim server, including the collected meta-data.
Thx for all the hard work - just ripped a pile of CDs, fast and easy!
