Hi,
have been a long time Gold user of MM after dumping MusicMatch and iTunes ages back. I now have a Sangean WFR-1D+ connected to my audio system and trying to work out the best media server to use to serve up audio files to the system. Have tested Twonky and Asset Media Servers so far but would be really pleased to have MM do the serving as well as library management.
So far MM4 (UPnP) is functioning and visible to the Sangean box.
Under the Shared Media selection there is MMUPnP> MUSIC> Location, Artist / Album, Album, Genre, Year etc but there does not appear to be a Track selection which would display all library tracks sequentially which would enable continuous (next track play sequence) playing - this becomes an issue if a track is selected which is the only track by that artist or only one within an album or artist directory - in that instance it will just play repeatedly and not move to the next track in the library or just stop - requiring some intervention. Could there be a "Repeat On/Off" that I'm missing? An option to continuously stream the library (or request next in library) would be great.
Also:
One great feature of the Asset Media Server was a Jukebox function (Album Jukebox or Track Jukebox) which seemed to offer a pretty good shuffle/random selection of tracks - this is great for me and would love to know if it will be included in MM... some ability to have a mash-up of random tracks from anywhere in the network would be fantastic... is there a way to do this now?
Let me know if I can do additional testing on my set-up.
Cheers,
Chris
