Melco N1 wonky and MinimServer questions

[simoncn]

Welcome to the MinimServer forum!

MinimServer provides a different browsing view of the library than Twonky. MinimServer supports Intelligent Browsing which enables you to use any tag names in your library and browse for any tag names in any order, rather than using a predefined container hierarchy such as Genre/Artist/Album. If your library contains classical music, it can be very useful to be able to browse by Composer/Ensemble/Soloist or Artist/Composer/Work (for example).

The best way to decide whether you like the MinimServer approach is to try it. MinimServer runs on a wide range of platforms (Windows/Mac/Linux/NAS) so you could try it on one of these before installing it on the Melco.

If you decide to use MinimServer exclusively on the Melco, it is a good idea to disable Twonky because having both running at the same time competes for system resources.
