Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
You have to use the web-based app or PC/Mac. I just set Window Media play to use the share as a library instead. I'm not a huge fan of the web-app, though it would be okay if you could access it directly instead of having to go through the DSM portal. The nice thing is that if you already have a NAS all of this stuff is free.
I add music by copying it into my music share which audio-station uses as it's library. It's all just file based, which I like.
So Audio Station periodically scans the files in its Music folder to add new ones to its database?
I believe that's the case. I copy stuff into the share and then it shows up. I'm not sure how often it checks.
Thanks. I've played around a bit with Plex, and that's how it seems to work.
I haven't tried Plex since it looks like the Synology software does what I want.
I uploaded a song to my NAS, then opened up Audio Station immediately and it was there.

Could you search for it via various metadata fields?
Dunno, since I'm listening to music off my NAS here at work, I don't have any regular songs lying around. I converted the Hobbit Misty Mountain song to mp3 and uploaded it, but I didn't tag it.
I confess, I do not use RSS readers. I've heard y'all talking about the google one leaving, and the tales of woe. Saw this article in cnet, thought I'd share: [link]

I need some PC help. Mac has a pc, a %^&$% windows 8 PC and we have downloaded the DC Universe Online game to it. Specifically to his user desktop which has parental control on it. We have never been able to access the game directly. Clicking on the Launchpad icons that showed up with install opens an IE window that shows only a pic of the launchpad icon (same size as icon on the desktop) and the web address bar reads with the drive pathway where we told the game to download on the C drive. Help? ideas?
I am on with DC Universe support web chat, but they seem utterly confused.
