No, I don't. Any Linn DS can read a folder structure from a URL (say, http://mynas/music/presets) and allow you to browse the contents from that folder, given they are in a linn-specific format, using just the remote that came with it. No magic. No control point. Just the remote.

"The jukebox service provides a means of loading stored presets (playlists with numerical names) into your Linn DS device from a known http location, bypassing any media server application. "

On this screen, you can see (in the middle) how the library might be organized. Say, you start with a "New" Bookmark, that one holds all recently added music (30 days or so). Next on, a bookmark with "Artist/Album" or whatever you like. All this is then accessible with the remote that came with the Linn. Either by knowing the # of the playlist you want to play (I write playlist as this is what it is, see here), or by browsing the structure - Bookmark, Entry, Select entry - boom. Or Bookmark, use numerical keys to jump to a specific letter, select, boom.

But it is a pain to update the catalog on a regular basis. That is why I thought it would be nice to have minim update the entries in the background.
