it doesn't to be Twonky installed on the server. The server should be at least working with the DLNA and/or UPNP standards though.

Beosound 5 Encore Ablum covers & naming issue
20 replies
Now I am very confused. I been told that my D-link DNS 320 Nas-server could not show albumcovers, because it didn´t had Twonkey Media Server 6,5 installed. My D-link had UPnP and it played the music but could´t show the covers.
In my local computershop I asked about the Western Digital Live Nas Server, and I was told that it need some software, and It was very complicated to install that software. So they could not recommend this NAS server.
If i buy a Western Digital Live Nas Server, do I then have to install any software / programs or can I just use it like it is?
A WD live have a twonky 5 media serveur installed, you don't need to install anything it will normally work. (it works for Stephan)Just pay attention that if you need for any reason to upgrade to a new twonky version' WD is not proving an upgrade for licence reasons. You will have to hack your NAS and install the new version yourself via accessing the root files ( and pay 15 EUR) for licence.I really don't know why it works good for Stephan and not for me, I am still struggling with tags and multiple album dispay, but at least all covers are present afetr I upgraded my NAS.
Thanks eranlux.
B&O recommened a NAS-Server with Twonkey Media Server 5.1.3 or higher installed. Can you recommend any other NAS-Server with this installed?
Qnap NAS-Server workks great, and are recomeded by B&O.
Yes I know but it is a very expensive NAS-server. B&O also recommened Iomega Storcenter Px4-300d and Iomega Storcenter PX4-300r, but they are also very expensive.
I would like one NAS-server that is cheaper, but I don´t know which one to buy. Please help :-)
Can I use this
My new Synology DS 211j Nas shows the albumcovers. Lovely. But now the encore is splitting all albums with various artist. Its means that I Can only play one song from the album and then the encore stop playing. Can anybody help me.
"The"-Bands (e.g. The Mars Volta ) are sorted by name without the "The" in this case under the Letter "M" ... is there a way to change it to sort it under "T" ?
Well, I would say that the sorting is doen correct; if you would go to record shop (or let's make use of library as records shops almost doesn't exists anymore); where would you find Mars Volta? Under M or T; of course M. Same goes for The Beatles; T or B?
Yeah I know but in this case ( The Mars Volta ) the "The" is an essential part of the name as there is another band called Mars Volta ( without the "the") ... Anyway I got used to it ...
I remember a band called "The The" I just wonder where the Beosound 5/Twonky will sort it to.... :-)
