Best iPad App for MinimlServer

[Donuk]

Just to add to the body of knowledge on this issue - and my own knowledge is very limited -, this is how I work with Lumin and it seems to work fine.

Firstly, I have a ".sh" file - Mac equivalent of a ".bat" - on my Mac PC desktop - which contains the following lines


rsync -avh --progress /Volumes/Don6Tb/MAIN/ /Volumes/share/MAIN 2> ~/Desktop/rsyncErrorsMELCO.txt

echo "rescan" | /Applications/MinimWatch.app/Contents/mscript -a 192.168.0.7:9790

This provides an incremental way to move stuff from my external hard drive - to where I rip or download flac files - to my Melco N1/A.
When it has loaded the new files to the Melco, the rescan line causes just that - Minim on the Melco to be aware of the new files.

When I reopen Lumin on my iPad, I ask it to recreate the database - I find that easier than simply updating.
Lumin does not interrupt at any other time doing rescans - at least as far as I am aware.

Perhaps not the most brilliant way to marshal ones music, but for me it works fine.
