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. "

MinimServer doesn't support HTTP folder browsing. The HTTP URLs that MinimServer provides are persistent references to individual tracks for use by a music renderer. I think this is probably the reason why you can't use MinimServer with the jukebox service.

Quote: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.

By "update the entries in the background", do you mean that the HTTP server would change the contents of an HTTP folder that has previously been loaded into the jukebox service? The resources that MinimServer exposes as URLs are intended to be persistent, so are never updated.
