The WAF

[Mr.Bear]

Hi Simon,

I just installed MinimServer and looking forward to learning how to use it for our unique needs. Until I am up to speed with your product, I am hoping you might think about one issue I have yet to figure out with Twonky and it has been an issue for me since my first DS… the WAF (Wife Acceptance Factor) with my library of music. She likes things very simple and she is overwhelmed with the size of the library; I am already at about 12,000+ songs and I expect the library to grow quickly which is only going to make things worse.

My wife does not want to deal with playlists, favorites, whatever; she just wants to open Kinksy and ONLY see “her” music… but her music is already combined into the library of 12,000+ songs. However “I” want to be able to look at ALL music if I so choose (including hers). And with (23) DS’s installed on our network and countless control point devices, playlists become a bit more challenging.

Everything is being stored on a rather beefy QNAP NAS with 24TB of storage (12 usable as it is configured as RAID-10) even though there is lots of storage, I don’t want to duplicate songs with a special bucket just for her songs.

I am wondering if your product on it’s own may provide a solution or your product in conjunction with Twonky.

PS - when I said she just wants to open Kinksy and only see her music, that was not 100% correct in that she may be open to other CP software. It is just that Kinksy is the only things she has ever used. She uses Kinksy on her Mac, her iPhone and her iPad. So I just naturally said "Kinsky"... I've tried several other CP software products and while some have cool features / look & feel, I tend to like Kinsky the best.
