Moving music from Nas to SD - how?

Posted by: fathings cat on 01 September 2018

Hi there, all my music is stored on a ready nas duo and I want to transfer some albums onto an SD card to play in my car. Is there an easy way (I have low tech skills) to do this? ( I have an I Mac and use iTunes - not sure if I need to use those in the process)

Thanks

Gary

On a Mac, open N-Serve. Control-click on an album and select 'Add to MP3 library.'

If you want to make MP3s copies of everything, control-click on Albums on the list on the R. side and it will do everything.

This will not delete the lossless files you have, it will create a "parallel library" of MP3s stored in a separate file on the US.

You probably want to set the bit rate to the maximum possible of 320kB if you want them to sound OK, so first go to Maintenance, select Encoder Settings (last item on the menu list) and set your chosen bit rate there.
