The problem with that autoloader is you have to monitor the metadata tags and make sure cover art is correct. Unfortunately the best way to do that is one at a time by hand.
Servers: Are we there yet?
I was shocked to discover that my brand-new high-end server is entirely dependant on a functional wireless network. If either the Ipad or the wifi are not working, the server is rendered non-functional. I spoke to the dealer and he informed me that all the servers he carries are like that. Huh?!?

psag, I am using Apple AirPort Extreme with my N10. No issues with streaming. Pretty much all servers out there requires hard wired Ethernet connection for a glitch free streaming. rzado, i own over 400 cd's and someday would like to rip all of them and copy them onto my Aurender server. I came across X10 from cocktail audio, looks like a sweet solution to cd ripping. http://www.cocktailaudio.com/overview_x10.html i wonder if anyone here using this device for cd ripping. Cost $699 plus hard drive, another $50-70 depending on storage capacity. |
Yes, but I wasn't referring to streaming. I'm talking about the music that is now stored on the server's hard drive. It cannot be accessed without a working Ipad and a wireless network. If my wifi is down, the server is as dead as a doornail. My understanding is that this is the current state of the art for music servers. Just saying, is all. |
psag, I wonder if it's possible for music servers to incorporate Bluetooth controls? That way it wouldn't be subject to the failings of wi-fi connections. Bluetooth isn't much good for streaming/playing hi-resolution digital music files but for simply controlling a display panel and playback features it seems that it could work just fine. But I'm not an electrical engineer so I have no idea of the technicalities involved. Regards, Tom |
