There's more…….when i'm in my car i can connect my iPhone using JRemote to my car stereo using Airplay via bluetoothĪnd access my 90,000 tracks over the internet using JRiver Media Center media server functions. In my main music room, i just sit on my couch and browse my tracks on my iPhone and cue up stuff to listen to.įor my bedroom listening i bought one of these Altec Lansing iPhone docks for 69.00 that sound fine for casual listening,īut still have access to all of my music through the iPhone.

I can stream any of my 90,000 tracks to the apple TV > dac > preamp > amp > speakers In my home theater room, i have an APPLE TV hooked to a bel canto DAC, then analog out to my system preamp. I can control everything remotely from JRemote I have all my tracks on my main music computer (90,000) where i run J River Media Center. Not running flac and not being able to switch from 16 bit to 24 were the I was tired of converting all my flacs to ALAC, so i got off the iTunes. I can't give you any help on Sonus Systems, but i was shackled to iTunes until last year when i moved to J River Media Center and JRemote (iPhone APP) I have zero interest in streaming music junk beyond using Spotify to discover new stuff and then buy it on vinyl.Īnyone have any advice? Also, how bad are those Sonos speakers for non-serious listening (bedroom speaker, etc.)?

How does the Sonos "intelligently" find your music? Would I be right to assume it will basically just read ID3 tags, and unfortunately, duplicate my FLAC and MP3 unless I manually move the FLAC folders somewhere? How does the hierarchy work?įurther, how does Sonos work with iTunes? Does it mess it up at all? Does it update play counts, etc? Or does it simply just read ID3 tags off of the underlying files, therefore not even using iTunes' system at all? (I assume this is how it works)
I plan to consolidate everything into a single RAID system that fixes that.ģRD LEVEL: Folders containing FLACs in one, MP3 in another My FLACs are stored haphazardly on numerous hard drives. Of course, the iTunes world is a bummer for my FLAC files, which I can only listen to on headphones at my computer, or basically never. I do most of my serious listening to pre-recorded music on vinyl. I listen to pretty much everything digital on HQ MP3s and I have numerous customized playlists set up based on play counts, dates added, etc. What I have now for digital is entirely in the iTunes universe and I do not plan to abandon iTunes. Still, it is a promising start.I am looking at adding a Sonos system but have some questions about its utility for playing my FLAC files. They have already done the hard work in porting it to QNAP.

The ideal solution would be if JRiver provided a full headless version where the setup of JRiver could be done via a weblink rather than needing a physically connected monitor. The difficulty with this approach is that where JRiver encounters and error, you won't know about it (and JRemote may become unresponsive depending upon the error) until you reconnect a monitor. JRiver on QNAP was able to stream via UPNP to My Lumin D1 without any problems being controlled by the JRemote.įor the initial setup, you need a monitor, but do not need a mouse or keyboard as you can use the free Qremote apps on iOS or Andriod for that You simply control JRiver via JRemote or another app of your choice. After the initial setup you do not need to keep the monitor attached. I connected a monitor via HDMI to do the initial JRiver setup in HD Station. Patatorz, I experimented with JRiver on a QNAP HS-251 yesterday.

Sory for the stupid question but would you have any recommendations for using it remotely when it would run on the QNAP through HD Station (because it requested HD station to be installed as I'm not able to see any shortcut on QNAP interface on my PC after installation) ? What I need is to have acess sometimes for setup but most of the time just need to use JRemote so headless.
