Favourite on nServe?
Posted by: Tonkis Q on 05 September 2011
Hi
Could you explain what you mean by 'favourites'? I may be missing something here - but I don't think n-serve has the concept of favourites. The closest I can see is 'Most Played', which is stored at album level.
The whole set up of nServe is much more oriented to whole albums rather that than tracks - it is not a track friendly as iTunes.

You can create playlists, containing tracks or albums...
I was thinking of a function where you can add a track or an album that you are listening to, to some kind of playlist.
I think it was named "add to favourites" on my old SB.
Often when I listen to an album I say to myself, shit this is good I have to listen to this album more often...
Oh sorry - of course.
Yes - you can create playlists. As you browse around either albums or tracks you can choose to 'Play' or 'Add To'. And if you chose the latter you can add the album or track to the current play queue, an existing playlist, or a new playlist.
I like the nServe implementation of this functionality better than the equivalent in the App implementation of iTunes.
PS
That means, of course, that you could let up playlists like 'Favourite Albums' or 'Music I must listen to more'.
The only problem is that when you add an album to the playlist, it copies the tracks from the album into the playlist, and not the one line album title. So the playlist is a list of tracks from the albums you chose and not a list of albums.
I don't know whether there are any changes to the App when the iRadio serves are released shortly. I think some people are beta testing this and they might know.
What I most like about the n-Serve app is to view the "most played" albums and "recent played" albums.
That covers my favourites ;-)
