Innuous recommended MinimServer because they think it's more suited to arranging large classical music libraries--searchable by composer and then works, rather than albums. I'd use the Naim app as a control point once my music is on the Zen NAS drive.

Thanks, this makes sense.

Quote:The main problem seems to be that I can't open Minimwatch on my PC (not Mac), so can't control MinimServer on my Zen and can't transfer music from my PC to the Zen. I guess that has to be done via MinimWatch. The Naim app (on an iPad) recognises Zen (MinimServer) but says it's empty.

MinimWatch doesn't "open" in the way you are expecting. Also, it doesn't transfer music from a PC to a NAS. Please read this page to get a better understanding of what MinimWatch does and how to use it.

Quote:I do have the CopyTrans app on my PC. which enables the transfer of iTunes libraries back & forth to iPods and other PCs. Perhaps is I put a copy on the Zen that would do the transfer--but it seems more logical to use MinimWatch if only I could get it to open.

You can't use MinimWatch to do this.
